Answer 1

You can achieve this using JQuery

HTML

 <input type="file" id="FilUploader" /> 

JQuery

    $("#FilUploader").change(function () {         var fileExtension = ['jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'gif', 'bmp'];         if ($.inArray($(this).val().split('.').pop().toLowerCase(), fileExtension) == -1) {             alert("Only formats are allowed : "+fileExtension.join(', '));         }     });
