This is nice, but it's really just using a regexp or pattern to define file extensions... Not detecting mime type within the browser client on upload. People could just rename the file extension of the file that they are uploading, and the validator would fail. I'm pretty sure that javascript won't return mime types to you. The only way that I know to validate mime types on a file upload is on the server side, and by then... The file is already uploaded. You can, however use the 'accept=' attribute of the input type="file" ... And refuse to allow upload of a comma delimited list of mime types:
<input type="file" name="myFile" accept="text/html,image/jpeg,audio/mpeg"> I'm pretty sure that this occurs in the browser prior to upload.
