SOLVED: File Upload works in Chrome but not Firefox

[rsmithh]

In Chrome, all is as it should be.

In FF (and IE8), although I can see the HTTP POST in Wireshark, my uploadListener() method is not invoked.

The only unusual thing I can think of is that my upload tag is in an iframed page within my application.

Here is my tag ...

 <rich:fileUpload
                    listHeight="60px"
                    listWidth="120px"
                    allowFlash="false"
                    clearControlLabel=" "
                    autoclear="true"
                    disabled="false"
                    maxFilesQuantity="1"
                    addControlLabel="CSV File"
                    uploadData="#{tl2010.uploadData}"
                    fileUploadListener="#{tl2010.uploadListener}"
                    acceptedTypes="csv"
                    immediateUpload="true"
                    onfileuploadcomplete="document.getElementById('contactForm:upload_wrapper_body').style.display='none';document.getElementById('contactForm:new_contacts_op').style.display='block';"
          >

I checked the server log and can see no errors, but the entries are different between the working Chrome (in green) and the not working FF (in red)

Update ...

I moved my upload tag into the parent page (ie. above the iframe) and it works there. So there is some issue regarding File Upload in an iframe?

The problem was caused by a nested form in a completely different part of the page.
