Unfortunately there are several common use cases which would require the ability to programmatically _remove_ particular files from the FileList, which seems not to be possible currently. For example: a) Checking the file.size for some limit before uploading, if limit is exceeded exclude the particular file from uploading. b) Giving the end-user an opportunity of reviewing his file selection and to exclude accidentally selected files. Here's the discussion of a guy facing the same problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3144419/how-do-i-remove-a-file-from-the-filelist 81658 1 robin 2013-01-21 15:57:55 +0000 Mass move to "HTML WG" 81771 2 robin 2013-01-21 16:00:38 +0000 Mass move to "HTML WG" 84230 3 robin 2013-03-11 15:32:09 +0000 This is not something for the HTML specification to change, FileList is defined by the File API specification (http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#dfn-filelist). But don't worry — I'm moving your bug there so that it can be processed by the right people, this is a good bug. 84255 4 arun 2013-03-11 17:06:39 +0000 This bug is a likely dupe of Bug 17125. 84360 5 arun 2013-03-13 18:52:40 +0000 Marking dupe.
