HTML input type = file in Adobe AIR does not present file browser

Question

So the good old HTML file uploader tag only presents a browse button (without associated text input) when rendered in a HTML based Adobe AIR application. Upon clicking the browse button, nothing seems to happen. I would expect a popup window so I can select a file. I've seen examples of people using Javascript to call the AIR runtime to get a file and upload it, but I was wondering if anyone knew a complete HTML/Javascript way of doing this with AIR.

thanks

Actually, this does work. I somehow managed to stop this from working, probably through a combination of cloning that part of the DOM elsewhere.
