JQuery .submit() Fails in IE9

http://jsfiddle.net/BayjF/8/

This piece of Jquery doesn't work in IE:

$('div#photoCropContainer').click(function() { 
    $('input#file').trigger('click'); 
});

In the JSFiddle on IE9 - if you click browse button, then submit fires automatically.

If however you click 'click me!' and choose a file the submit doesn't fire.

It appears the issue is with the .trigger() on IE9 - anyone have any ideas or advice?

thx

Yes, it is a security limitation in IE.

You should use a <label> around your input (or using for="file" attribute). Clicking on the label will automatically trigger click event on your input, thus opening the file chooser.

    This does not work for me, it opens the file choose but then I have the same problem as above; the submit does not work correctly. In IE9. – sync Nov 15 '12 at 23:53
