I had the same problem using a INPUT FILE with IE5. The Onchange event 
doesn´t do anything. It worked perfectly with IE6. So I founded that 
the event Onfocus did the same. In both IE´s.
I used <input type="file" name="FileData" 
OnFocus="javascript:fnChangeFile();">   and 
function fnChangeFile(){
	//Checks for a valid Excel file 	
	var gfile
	gfile=fsParameters.FileData.value
	if  (gfile=="")
		return 0;
	else if (gfile.indexOf(".xls")==-1) 
	{
		//Reload this page
...
You can also use IE's onpropertychange event like so...
<input type="file" onpropertychange="if(event.propertyName=='value')
{alert('run code here');}">
