#976: uploading multiple icons in Internet Explorer

[domtheknight]

In Internet Explorer (version 7, perhaps previous versions as well), the "add another" buttons to upload multiple icons at a time don't work.

ETA: I've received additional data that the button doesn't work in IE6 or IE8, either.

It doesn't work in IE6 or IE8, either. There's an "error on page" javascript warning that pops up when you try:

IE8:

Message: Could not get the type property. This command is not supported.

IE6:

Line: 4518
Char: 3
Error: 'HTMLInputElement' is undefined

Opera 7.54 also fails, though 8.02 and above seem okay:

Event thread: onclick

Okay, thanks! The testers who were working on it only had IE version 7 to check with.

The magic solution to only being able to run one version of Internet Explorer on a machine at once: Microsoft's time-bombed VMs for Internet Explorer. Unfortunately the current ones expire on 30 April; hopefully they'll release another set after that.
