File Upload Filetypes

[ford Darcy Jr]

Hi,

I am using Multipart request to upload files. My upload program is working fine. But, is there anyway to restrict the specific filetypes while uploading. I mean if a particular filetype is encountered, the file should not get uploaded.

Thanks,

I think you can do that on your front end (even though not a flawless idea).I have to look around but I remember something about an accept attribute in your form tag.. Ill have to look around though

Thanks a lot, I will try using Accept tag.

Hi,

Accept attribute, doesnt seem to be working on IE 6.0. Is there any other way to restrict the file types.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am using Multipart request file upload. I wrote a javascript function to restrict the file types and it works fine now.

Thanks.
