Filtering the Choose File Dialog - File Upload

[ryandoah]

Hi All,

I posted this question in the HTML forum, but wanted to post it here also, since my site is built in ASP, and think the answer may only be capable using scripting.

I have a page used for uploading PDF images to our server. It is set up using ABCUpload and seems to work fine. I have the accept="application/pdf", which works fine also, for not accepting anything but .pdf files. Though, one of my supervisors wants the Choose File dialog box to only display .pdf files and not All Files(*.*), or the other choices. How do I filter this to just display the wanted MIME Type?

Thank you,
ryandoah

i dont think that can be done. (there is an attribute called "accept" if i am correct, but it does not stop the users from selecting other files)

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Yeah, I'm using the accept function, fairly handy, but not idiot proof. I need idiot proof around here. :}

Thanks,
