Hi Rory,
As Patrice said, the accept attribute is not widely supported in current
browsers. You can refer to this article for some workarounds:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html#filter
I have another suggestion for you, that is using Silverlight, which is a
cross-browser plug-in. We can filter the file in this way:
OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Image
Files(*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF|All files (*.*)|*.*";
I suggest you to wait for the release of Silverlight 2. In the mean time
you can learn Silverlight 2 Beta 2 first.
To get started with Silverlight:

Please feel free to let me know if you have further questions. You can also
ask questions in the Silverlight forum:

Allen Chen

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for non-urgent issues
where an initial response from the community or a Microsoft Support
Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable. Please note that each follow
up response may take approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best
handled working with a dedicated Microsoft Support Engineer by contacting
Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) at

| Thanks Juan. I already have something like that on the server-side.
|
| I was hoping however to present the user of my site with a slightly
friendlier

|
| Looking around the net it doesn't seem like it's possible though.
