Check file extension in JavaScript
Easy script to check extensions on JavaScript.
function checkExt(e) {//use in a form event or ina input value=e.value; if( !value.match(/\.(jpg)|(gif)|(png)|(bmp)|(pdf)$/) ){//here your extensions alert("wrong extension"); //actions like focus, not validate... } else {//right extension alert("nice!"); //actions } }
Usage example onchange event:
<input id="Path" name="Path" type="file" />Just one that says if is PDF or not:
function isPdf(e) { if( e.value.match(/\.(pdf)$/) ){ alert("pdf"); //action } else alert("no pdf"); //actions }
Same as the other one.
I know they are really simple but I never need it to validate this in the client side since today. Kind of weird xD
