I have a standard web form which has a file selector form field. This has worked for well over 10 years as it's the standard UI presented by Safari. Just noticed today after Safari upgraded to 14.0.1 (on the latest Mojave) that the button is dead: clicking does nothing. This same form continues to work in Chrome. Anyone else see this and have a workaround?
Mac mini 2018 or later
Safari 14.0.3 which fixes this issue, is now available via the Software Update System Preferences pane.
It appears that beta 14.0.3 works. Finally.
When I wrote "security update" was because after I did it, the problem arose. It definitely could be something different, though. Something that has not been fixed in the latest Safari release (end of December)
As for your solution, I checked again right now, but I can confirm that it does not work for me at all.
2 examples:
Blogger: if I click "insert image from your computer" and I try to move the image into the "image window", the result I have is the image displayed in a safari tab but NOT uploaded.
eBay: I cannot even click the +image button in my draft simply because the it is not responsive. That's to say that I cannot even try to move an image from my desktop to "image window"
I have the same issue. I've reported it with Feedback Assistant. I'm not aware of any workaround at the moment other than drag and drop a file (if that is an option on your page).
Too much work and too time consuming and not worth the trouble. I'm just using Firefox or Chrome. Much easier.
The only solution, if you want to stay with Mojave, is to re-install the operating system. See my posts on this thread dated November 19 & 20
Safari 14.0 works fine. AVOID 14.0.1
I confirm. Safari 14.0.2 is still not fixed for attachments or file selection.
waiting safari 14.0.3 beta
This problem continues despite the installation of :
Security Update 2020-007:
Version: 10.14.6
Source: Apple
Install Date: 28/12/2020 16:40
it remains to wait for beta 14.0.3
will look here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=Safari
i know exactly what you are going through!
however I found that when you copy version 14.0 to another Mac it works!
Have you sent them feedback about the issue? https://www.apple.com/feedback/ - the more people that do that, the more likely it is to be fixed.
beta 14.0.3 appeared a couple of days ago.
This should be automatically resolved by just updating
Nope for a basic reason: Apple has not released yet (after 2 months) a fixed version of Safari. The latest version (14.0.2) was released at the end of December and still has the problem,
Safari 14.0.1 File Selection button not working
