Currently the file uploader is broken on Windows XP.

Expected result:
When creating a new submission and clicking on "Add Material" pops up a dialog to select the file(s) to upload.

What happens:
When creating a new submission and clicking on "Add Material" inside of Step 2 nothing happens.

This probably has to do with jquery-ui styling that is applied on top of the input selector.

```

Add Files...

```

By removing the `ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-button-text-icon-primary` class attributes from the the label, the input file selector works (i.e. the dialog appears), but the file upload plugin breaks.

This is something that only happens on windows and works perfectly on other platforms.

We should probably upgrade to the newer version of jQuery File Uploader (http://blueimp.github.com/jQuery-File-Upload).
