Nothing happends when you click button.

I'd like that when the whole upload button is clicked, then it will show the filechooser dialog. Right now as it is, it only happens if the input field is clicked, maybe others would as well

element.on('click', function() { var children = this.childNodes; if (children.length > 0) { for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) if (children[i].type==="file") { children[i].click(); } } });

directive link, under el.append(fileInput)

It's a security feature (implemented in all browsers), you cannot open a file picker by invoking it via javascript.

Okay, I've seen it other places, but I don't really understand why it is a "security feature" ? :) (If you have time, I'd like a referal to some doc so I can understand)

Maybe you're not including the correct css? https://github.com/leon/angular-upload/blob/master/src/directives/btnUpload.min.css If you want to use the upload button to look like a button but behave like a fileinput, the css will make the input invisible and place it over the button. So when you click the button it's actually the input being clicked.

Right you are. Sorry, and thanks a lot for the help.
