Not a bug Import a file > Choose a file, the entire line is clickable

[Deleted member 184953]

Affected version

2.2.11

As title, the entire line is clickable instead of the button only to trigger the opening of the popup window.
Tested on a demo forum.

Same behavior in following pages :

• /admin.php?languages/import
• /admin.php?styles/import
• /admin.php?add-ons/ in the popup

So I don't know if it's voluntary or something classic.

This is just how HTML works.

<label> elements should activate the input that they are attached to. This usually works for text inputs too, where clicking the label will bring focus to the input.

The same is true for file inputs, where clicking the label should activate the input.

Here are some native HTML examples you can test:

<input type="file"> - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN

<input> elements with type="file" let the user choose one or more files from their device storage. Once chosen, the files can be uploaded to a server using form submission, or manipulated using JavaScript code and the File API.

<input type="text"> - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN

<input> elements of type text create basic single-line text fields.
