Well, I have checked it, its not working in Chrome (dev), IE7 or Opera(10 beta)
Why? I don't know, but it seems not to work on older FF (2.XX) too.

Works ok in chrome when you don't use <button type="button">Upload</button>
Works when you use normal link <a id="upload_link" href="#">upload image</a>

I've got it to work in Chrome with <button> tag by adding a line to the script.

After it creates the input object, just add the following:
element.click(function() { input.click() });

The problem is sometimes the file element "overlay" doesn't sit right on the 
button object. However the click() method works in Chrome on the file element, 
bringing up the dialog box. So whether the user clicks the file element or the 
button element, it will work.

I think this should be added to the standard code, as it's a useful fallback.
