Hi all,
We use
<input type="file" name="FILEFILENAME" value="">
to get file input dialogs. My questions are:

(1) Is it possible to add a bunch of file filters to the opening dialog
box? (*.txt, *.doc, etc etc)

(2) Is it possible to get the type of file selected in the dialog?
Meaning the index of the element if (1) is possible, so that you could
mess around with it in the java script.

If both the above are not possible... is anyone at the W3C thinking
about adding this neat feature into the HTML spec in the near future?
Anyone? :)

Thanks!
