    Accept is supposed to do that isn't it? I don't know whether it works on any browsers though. This is what the HTML 4 spec said:

    accept = content-type-list
    This attribute specifies a comma-separated list of content types that a server processing this form will handle correctly. User agents may use this information to filter out non-conforming files when prompting a user to select files to be sent to the server (cf. the INPUT element when type="file").

    I don't think any browsers do support it, but it's not new (HTML 4 is over 5 years old isn't it?). And I read it from the official HTML 4 spec on the W3C site. You want me to find the URI for you?
