The "File" Input Type

I am using the <input type=”file” form for uploading things to a website. When the browse window pops-up, I want the “Files of Type” area (where you select what extension you want the files to be) to be something specific, like all picture files (*.gif,*.bmp,*.png,*.jpg), for example. Can I do this through HTML?

@thewebmanApr 03.2006 — no, I don't think you can do that. but you could use Javascript to see if the user inputed something containing those extensions (using onChange="").

Success!
