ISSUE-197: Accept attribute should allow file extensions in addition to the current allowed values

accept-file-ext

Accept attribute should allow file extensions in addition to the current allowed values

State:
CLOSED
Product:
HTML 5 spec
Raised by:
Julian Reschke
Opened on:
2012-01-14
Description:
(raised on behalf of sharco@microsoft.com):

The spec states: “The accept attribute may be specified to provide
user agents with a hint of what file types will be accepted.” The options
currently allowed in the accept attribute are mime types and the special tokens
“audio/*”, “image/*”, “video/*”. Allowing file extensions to be a token would
help many developers and fits in exactly with the purpose of the accept
attribute.
