在IE8中，为了安全起见，他们将文件上传字段设置为只读。查看IE团队的博客文章:

Historically, the HTML File Upload Control () has been the source of a significant number of information disclosure vulnerabilities. To resolve these issues, two changes were made to the behavior of the control. To block attacks that rely on “stealing” keystrokes to surreptitiously trick the user into typing a local file path into the control, the File Path edit box is now read-only. The user must explicitly select a file for upload using the File Browse dialog. Additionally, the “Include local directory path when uploading files” URLAction has been set to "Disable" for the Internet Zone. This change prevents leakage of potentially sensitive local file-system information to the Internet. For instance, rather than submitting the full path C:\users\ericlaw\documents\secret\image.png, Internet Explorer 8 will now submit only the filename image.png.

这对我不起作用:

$('#Attachment').replaceWith($(this).clone());
or 
$('#Attachment').replaceWith($('#Attachment').clone());

所以在asp mvc中，我使用razor功能替换文件输入。 首先创建一个变量为输入字符串Id和名称，然后使用它显示在页面和重置按钮点击替换:

@{
    var attachmentInput = Html.TextBoxFor(c => c.Attachment, new { type = "file" });
}

@attachmentInput

<button type="button" onclick="$('#@(Html.IdFor(p => p.Attachment))').replaceWith('@(attachmentInput)');">--</button>

我使用了https://github.com/malsup/form/blob/master/jquery.form.js，它有一个名为clearInputs()的函数，它是跨浏览器的，经过良好测试，易于使用，并在需要时处理IE问题和隐藏字段清除。也许这个解决方案有点长，只清除文件输入，但如果你正在处理跨浏览器的文件上传，那么这个解决方案是推荐的。

用法简单:

// Clear all file fields:
$("input:file").clearInputs();

// Clear also hidden fields:
$("input:file").clearInputs(true);

// Clear specific fields:
$("#myfilefield1,#myfilefield2").clearInputs();

/**
 * Clears the selected form elements.
 */
$.fn.clearFields = $.fn.clearInputs = function(includeHidden) {
    var re = /^(?:color|date|datetime|email|month|number|password|range|search|tel|text|time|url|week)$/i; // 'hidden' is not in this list
    return this.each(function() {
        var t = this.type, tag = this.tagName.toLowerCase();
        if (re.test(t) || tag == 'textarea') {
            this.value = '';
        }
        else if (t == 'checkbox' || t == 'radio') {
            this.checked = false;
        }
        else if (tag == 'select') {
            this.selectedIndex = -1;
        }
        else if (t == "file") {
            if (/MSIE/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
                $(this).replaceWith($(this).clone(true));
            } else {
                $(this).val('');
            }
        }
        else if (includeHidden) {
            // includeHidden can be the value true, or it can be a selector string
            // indicating a special test; for example:
            //  $('#myForm').clearForm('.special:hidden')
            // the above would clean hidden inputs that have the class of 'special'
            if ( (includeHidden === true && /hidden/.test(t)) ||
                 (typeof includeHidden == 'string' && $(this).is(includeHidden)) )
                this.value = '';
        }
    });
};

你可以像这样用它的克隆来替换它

var clone = $('#control').clone();

$('#control').replacewith(clone);

但这个克隆与它的价值太，所以你最好喜欢这样

var emtyValue = $('#control').val('');
var clone = emptyValue.clone();

$('#control').replacewith(clone);

这适用于Chrome, FF和Safari

$("#control").val("")

可能无法与IE或Opera工作

我的火狐40.0.3只支持这个功能

 $('input[type=file]').val('');
 $('input[type=file]').replaceWith($('input[type=file]').clone(true));
