How to have jQuery restrict file types on upload?

I would like to have jQuery limit a file upload field to only jpg/jpeg, png, and gif. I am doing backend checking with PHP already. I am running my submit button through a JavaScript function already so I really just need to know how to check for the file types before submit or alert.

You can get the value of a file field just the same as any other field. You can't alter it, however.

So to superficially check if a file has the right extension, you could do something like this:

var ext = $('#my_file_field').val().split('.').pop().toLowerCase();
if($.inArray(ext, ['gif','png','jpg','jpeg']) == -1) {
    alert('invalid extension!');
}

No plugin necessary for just this task. Cobbled this together from a couple other scripts:

$('INPUT[type="file"]').change(function () {
    var ext = this.value.match(/.(.+)$/)[1];
    switch (ext) {
        case 'jpg':
        case 'jpeg':
        case 'png':
        case 'gif':
            $('#uploadButton').attr('disabled', false);
            break;
        default:
            alert('This is not an allowed file type.');
            this.value = '';
    }
});

The trick here is to set the upload button to disabled unless and until a valid file type is selected.

You could use the validation plugin for jQuery: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation

It happens to have an accept() rule that does exactly what you need: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/accept#extension

Note that controlling file extension is not bullet proof since it is in no way related to the mimetype of the file. So you could have a .png that's a word document and a .doc that's a perfectly valid png image. So don't forget to make more controls server-side ;)
