I have a database of contracts.  I want the people entering the information to 
be able to upload files to the website and the name of the file to the 
database.  I have that, but I'm caught on the "accept" attribute.
I want them to be able to upload most text oriented types of files (txt, 
rtf,ppt,word, etc.) but since these are linked for download, I'd like that they 
not be able to upload anything that might hurt the end-user on download, so at 
the very least, no executables.  Sure I can check the links but until I do, 
several downloads may occur.

So, how would I structure an "accept" so that it does this?  Also, which other 
types of files should I exclude?  If it's an include-only list then I don't 
have to exclude but I don't know which file types to enter ahead of time 
because I may know a few of the file types ahead of time, but probably not all 
of them.  So I'd rather exclude, I think.

Any comments?
