           Summary: Non-file inputs cannot be changed to file inputs via
                    JavaScript
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: Simetrical+webkit at gmail.com

Test case:

<!doctype html>
<script>
    var el = document.createElement("input");
    el.type = "radio";
    el.type = "file";
    alert(el.type);
</script>

Chrome dev (on Ubuntu) and Safari 5 (on XP) alert "radio".  Recentish Firefox nightly and Opera 10.60 alert "file".  The latter is certainly correct per spec.  If there's some security reason for this, the spec should be changed to mandate it so we have interoperability.
