file upload problem

[meglamaniac]

I'm building an image upload script.
So far its all going to plan and actually the php isn't the problem.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to restrict the files shown by the browse box to just jpegs? At the moment my field looks like this:

<input name="file" id="file" accept="image/jpeg" size="60" type="file" />

However, clicking browse still shows all files.
I'd realy prefer it if the filter in the browse box could be changed to *.jpg.

Thanks for any help.

Theres no hope in hell of ever getting something like that to work across more than 1 browser. Besides, you shouldn't ever trust whats coming from the client. Check the file type after its been uploaded.

Oh well, it was a nice thought.
Figured it was probably impossible though.
