HtmlInputFile restrict file types

dhnriverside

Hi

I'm trying to restrict file types with a HtmlInputFile Accept property. It
seems that this isn't supported for IE6? (doh!).

Can anyone recommend any free Upload components? Or a solution?

Cheers
Dan

Why don't you just add javascript validation on the filename on the client
side and after they select the file you want, you can tell them it isn't
correct. I am assuming you want to limit to say... ".doc" files.

It was save from finding and installing various activeX controls.

Hi Bill

Yep, could do that, must admit to having not thought of that one. However,
I'd still prefer to limit the types of files the users can upload if possible.

I don't mind fiddling with a control, as long as it's free!
