Disable web security for input file type elements?

[darbid]

I am automating a single intranet site. I need to add a file using an input element of type=file.

I understand that the standard settings of all webbrowsers is to deny javascipt access to click on this element.

How can I relax this setting? Is there a command line option or will this require a special build?

I've never seen any reference to such a setting.

Focus browser, focus element in JavaScript then send enter key press works. You can also send mouse down + up, requires calculating element coordinates.

CefBrowserHost has methods for sending key/mouse events, make sure browser has focus first.
