[ACFUG Discuss] Browser and File Upload Filter?
Has anyone found out how to use filters when uploading files from a form? For example I would like to when the user clicks browse button and recieves "Choose File" Dialog box to have the "Files of Type" filter set. All the searching I have done on the net says it is not possible.

The dialog box is the native OS file dialog, and the browser cannot send it information.

Thanks that is what i thought. However i disagree with one point. Browsers could Interact with this dialog the same way other applications do; they just dont. The terminology of files of type is windows specific but i believe other oses support this as well but maybe with a different name. -Original Message- From: "Tom McNeer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: discussion@acfug.org Sent: 10/8/2007 5:57 PM Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Browser and File Upload Filter?

Most operating systems I use other than Windows don't filter files based on file type. This includes OS X and GNOME on Linux? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cody Wehunt Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 8:03 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Browser and File Upload Filter?

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Browser and File Upload Filter?
What about using a Flex widget for this? The Flash player can filter like this. Though I have not tried this in a other OS before. Check this out http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=17_Networking_and_communications_173_6.html one caveat, IIRC, the only mime type sent is application/octet-stream DK On 10/8/07, Justin Haygood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Most operating systems I use other than Windows don't filter files based > on > file type.
