Filter the dialog box..?

[adamsoderqvist]

Hi everyone
Have a browser dialog box, using:

<input type=file name=file1>

Now, I want to filetr it so that only pictures are avaliable to pick. I've tried this:

<input type=file name=file1 style="FILTER: *.gif; *.jpg;">

but with no luck.

Any suggestions..?

i dont think that will work, a better way would be to check the value after the user selects the file.

if u still want to use filters think u might be looking for the "Accept" attribute...

To elaborate on vbkris's post, you might try this link for additional information on the accept attribute. Thanks, vbkris, for that information! I was previously unaware of that particular attribute.
