<p>Demonstrating special Internet Explorer 9/10 behaviour:</p>
<p>If you click the file input's "Browse" button to choose a file, you can submit the form.</p>
<p>If you click the other button that triggers a click on the file input, IE silently refuses
to submit the form.</p>
<p>Verified in IE 9 and 10. IE 11, Firefox and Google Chrome always submit the form correctly.</p>
