I have been using richfaces for many years now and have run into a problem I just cannot explain.  I have a form that contains a rich:colorPicker and a rich:fileUpload widget.  It appears the colorPicker widget is causing the fileUpload to not be able to upload a file, but when I delete the colorPicker everything works fine.  The main browser I need to support is IE, where this combination does not work, however the fileUpload seems to work without a problem in the latest version of Firefox.

I realize I am using an older version of richfaces and JBoss, but I am constrained and cannot update.

Richfaces version: 3.3.1

JBoss AS: 4.2.3
