file picker broken in Browse

Running Browse 112 with a newly built hulahop from sugar-jhbuild, the file picker failed to open:

Apparently this is related to (dup of #782). The URL that failed for me is:

​http://www.dailymotion.com/onestep

I did manage to get the file picker to work in the Attach file dialog within Trac.

Tomeu mentioned in IRC that he suspects the upload buttons inside of HTML frames.

Can you check if after updating hulahop this starts working? Have just checked in a fix for #782. If it is fixed now, please close this one as obsolete.

The filepicker now appears for the Dailymotion site!! I'll let you know if I discover any other sites that seems to be a problem, but let's consider this one closed. Thanks.
