I'm not sure I have the answer to this one. CSV files are just text files, so I would think that text/plain would work for you. But you're saying it doesn't.
According to the CF5 docs, the browser provides the mime-type, not the server. So this may be problematic if different people have their 'puters configured differently. This might require a bit more coding on your part but might solve the problem: Why not stop using the ACCEPT parameter and just write some code that checks the extension after the file has been uploaded. This way, you can have nice error messages instead of CF generated (ugly) messages and you don't have to worry about different client configurations. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Ferrigno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 2:50 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: MIME type question > > > Mosh, > > Yes, I am trying to put csv in the accept field of the cffile tag.
