           Summary: GMAIL: Upload of File Attachment Fails Silently
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rwbaskette at gmail.com


Using the GMAIL webmail interface, I attempted to attach a file to the message.
I clicked the 'attach file' link, dragged a file from an open Microsoft Office
2008 Excel title bar and dropped into the upload widget. The widget populated
with the correct information about the file (name/size). Gmail has some sort of
javascript notification that attempts to upload the file while the user
continues to enter the message. This event did not fire in my case. Upon
submitting the form (clicking the send button), the message appeared to have
sent but the file did not get sent to the server and was not attached to my
outgoing email.

As a control I repeated the identical process using stock Safari 3.1.2
(5525.20.1) and was able to upload the file and complete the email message
without incident.

I have attached this report to both the Javascript and HTML DOM components as
my best guess is either an event is not firing in Javascript or the element
added to the DOM by the GMail engine were not accessibly from the Javascript
DOM interface.
