Upload files - IE won't release focus of input field

When you upload files in IE (at least in IE8) you can double click on th开发者_运维知识库e field instead of clicking browse. The problem if you do this is when you return to the form after selecting a file. It will look like this:

IE will select the text in the field no matter where you move your mouse on the page (It releases focus if you click anywhere though)

This will not happen if you click the browse button to begin with, it only occurs when double clicking the input field.

Now, is there a way to make the field behave the same way, whether you click the button or double click the field? Like setting focus on some other part of the form.

It's starting to annoy me.

You basically want to tap in to the "onchange" event and then set the focus elsewhere: HTML File input JS events

I was able to get the IE8 highlighting to go away using jQuery and this code (where "up" is the id of your file input):

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#up").change(function() {
        $(document).focus();
    });
});

The following works for me:

    // Fix bug on IE 11
    $("input[type='file']").click(function() {
        var $this = $(this);
        $this.hide();

        setTimeout(function() {
            $this.show();
        });
    });
