Its a bit long winded, but take a look at this article on styling a file 
input. 

http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html

I haven't digested it all, but right at the bottom the guy makes mention 
of not being able to use the click() method with Mozilla and Opera.  
This seems to suggest that perhaps his styling solution may help you 
with your click() problem.

Hope it helps
