You can use the 'accept' attribute of input type="file". But the implementation still depends on the user agent used.Also see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-accept and http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html#filter

Click and read the links. It depends on the user agent used.You can consider to add an extra clientside validation using Javascript.

Face it, you're limited to the implementation by the user-agent.

Despitely most user agents indeed ignores the official spec according to the 'accept' attribute of input type="file".

Microsoft for example states: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/accept.asp

There is no functionality implemented for this property unless defined by the author.

W3C states: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-accept

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

Note the "may", it is not "must", nor "should" nor "have to".

Go figure: http://www.google.com/search?q=input+type+file+accept+filter
