Question

How to get type of file that user has selected (in some <input type="file" name="datafile">) with jQuery and for example alert it? At least its extention but some kind of grouped types like image would be grate. Is there any jQuery plugin for that?

Answer 1

$('input[type=file]').change(function(e){
  var file = $(this).val();
  var ext = file.split('.').pop();
  alert(ext);
});

Try this 🙂
