Problem using click() on input[type=file]

input[type=file] is very peculiar input type, you can't really do a whole lot with it, primarily for security reasons.

I'm guessing here, but do you perhaps want you own styled upload button? In that case I must disappoint you, you can't do it with HTML. You'll either have to use HTML5 or Flash (like SWFUpload)

I'm not sure for the input click (it might just be impossible due to security reasons), but your jQuery code is not completely correct.

jQuery.noConflict();

(function($){
    $('#clickme').click(function(){ // The $ is not necessary - you already have it
        $('#uploadme').click();
    }); // You should remove (jQuery) because you don't want to call the function here
})(jQuery); // you need (jQuery) to actually call the function - you only defined the function

Anyway, this answer says you cannot do what you want in Opera: In JavaScript can I make a "click" event fire programmatically for a file input element?

It's an Opera bug, but there is possibility to get the result by a different way, using <label> tag:

<input type="file" id="file" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden;">
<label for="file" id="file-label"></label>
<a onclick="$('#file-label').click()">Browse..</a>
