This doesn't make it easy for users to "undo" a file upload field. Unless there is Javascript on the page to clear it, you will need to reload the page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to site with browser-native file upload (not Flash) 2.Click on "Browse..." 3.Select a file 4.Click on "Browse..." again 5.Click "Cancel" Actual Results: Cancels file selection. Does not clear file upload field. Expected Results: Clear file upload field. Chrome 8 (and possibly earlier) clears file upload if you cancel.
