Text file upload

[krithikav]

I have a form with file input as follows.

<FORM Name="F1" enctype="multipart/form-data" Method="post" Action="sample.asp" target=Frm2>
Choose File <input type="file" name="file1" size="20">
</form>

When I click on Browse button, I would like to see only .txt files, i.e. in "Files of type" it needs to be .txt and not "All files".

How will I achieve this in ASP?

Thanks in advance.

Hello krithikav,

Sorry this is not possible with FileUpload control. What has always been suggested is to check the file extension before uploading file to the server.

Sorry, but that is the best that I have ever came up with~

W3C says the "Accepts" attribute does this, but I was told most current browsers ignore this attribute. Syntax should be:

<input type="file" accepts="text/html">
