XLS files cannot be uploaded via POST HTML form: submit button doesn't work

[James Valentine]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I'm on Ubuntu 8.10
The package is 3.0.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1

Whilst image files, for example, can be selected and uploaded through the file upload box in an HTML form, the XLS file I am using cannot: the submit button becomes unclickable.

No information I can find on the net can explain why this is the case, although I expect it to be related to the way the new file browse box works in FF3, and so-called "security fixes".

Sorry: the file was corrupt and won't open elsewhere. Strange that an upload wasn't attempted, though.

Please remove this bug.
