input type="file" is not opening the file browser from Chrome Extension

Question

I'm not sure if it's a bug or something simple that I just missed... Here is a simple test case. The index.html is:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Test file input field</title> </head> <body> <label for="file">File</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file"/> </body> </html>

The manifest is calling it inside a popup:

"popup": "index.html"

I was expecting to get the 'file browser' after clicking the 'file' button but it is vanish after 0.5sec. (It's on Mac 10.6.8 and Chrome 14.0.835.186)

Any idea?

Thanks...
