testcase

Downstream bug: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=78961
Test case attached. Will show file selection box in firefox, and nothing in webkit.

<input id=inp type=file hidden />
<button onclick="document.getElementById('inp').click();">Click me</button>

The onclick event is fired though, which can be tested with a simple alert in the input.

Looking at the spec, I do read
"Elements that are not hidden should not link to or refer to elements that are hidden."
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-hidden-attribute
Though unsure if this falls into that category.
