asp and <input type="file" accept="">

[mit99mh]

Is it the accept comma seperated string of the file field exposed - if so how can be it be accessed using asp.

Any help much appreciated.

The control <input type=&quot;file&quot; accept=&quot;&quot;>
Is it the accept comma seperated string of the file field exposed - if so how can be it be accessed using asp.

A list of acceptable file types can be placed in the accept=&quot;&quot; attribute of the <input type=&quot;file&quot; > - can this be accessed with ASP?

only the inputs name and value are returned in the form. You may be able to use client side javascript to get the acceptable file types and stick them in a hidden field for you.

I don't think so, but I may be wrong.

When the element is submitted, it is possible using ASP to retrieve the Content-Type,Value and Name but not the range of acceptable content types.

Since this is set by the HTML before a form is sent, Why do you need to get it back after the form is submitted. Why do you need to able to this?

recommendation is to use java and asp server side ( after submit for the java disabled ) to validate the value of the input type file ( text wise ) to verify the file type, as for the accepts, i dont personally think i've encountered this tag attribute for input before, then again i'm old skool

good luck and hope the info helps
