How to deal with IE window for upload a file(input type="file")

[xjiang]

Hi, All

There's a element in the web:

<input id="fileInput_iPhoneandiPodtouchScreenshots" type="file" name="filedata" class="lcUploadFile" style="">

first, I use the below script, the result is paused in line 2 and the script can't continue:

Local $oSubmit = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "fileInput_iPhoneandiPodtouchScreenshots")
_IEAction($oSubmit, "click")
Local $sWindowTitle = "File Upload"
WinWaitActive($sWindowTitle)
If WinActive($sWindowTitle,"") Then
ControlSetText($sWindowTitle,"","Edit1","D:\Autoit\iPhone and iPod touch Screenshots\screenshot5.jpg")
ControlClick($sWindowTitle,"","Button1")
EndIf

so, I tried another way. I made an Autoit EXE named "PopUpHandler.exe" with the script:

Local $sWindowTitle = "File Upload"
WinWaitActive($sWindowTitle)
If WinActive($sWindowTitle,"") Then
ControlSetText($sWindowTitle,"","Edit1","D:\Autoit\iPhone and iPod touch Screenshots\screenshot5.jpg")
ControlClick($sWindowTitle,"","Button1")
EndIf

it can worked well when i run it directly. But if I call it in the main script, it doesn't work.

;ShellExecute("PopUpHandler.exe", $sFile, @ScriptDir, "open", @SW_HIDE) ;doesn't work too.
Run("PopUpHandler.exe",@ScriptDir,@SW_HIDE,$STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $oSubmit = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "fileInput_iPhoneandiPodtouchScreenshots")
_IEAction($oSubmit, "click")

The PopUpHandler.exe has done its work, but the web($oIE) report a error. You can check it in the attach.

so, my questions is:

1. Why PopUpHandler.exe can work when run it directly, but can't work in another script?

2. Do we have another mothed to deal with this input type="file"?

Thanks.
