Tip of the day: WebFileUploader File Types

If you like to limit what file types can be accessed in a file uploader, you can set it like this:

dim js as string = "document.getElementById('" + FileUploader1.ControlID+ _
"').getElementsByTagName('input')[0].accept = 'image/jpeg';"
ExecuteJavaScript js

Put this code in a shown event if you like. It will lookup the file uploader control in javascript, look inside of the input element and set the accept parameter there to image/jpeg. Now you can only select jpeg images. Works of course only for the mime types known on the given PC running the app.
