File Upload UI Element

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using the Standard Webdynpro File upload element in the screens. When the user clicks on the 'Browse' button the File Selector popuop is thrown using which the user can select the file.

Can we have on specific type of files be displayed in the 'File Selector' popup. currently ALL the files are displayed, though we have the option of '.html' files in 'Files of Type' dropdown.

How can we add custom file types say .csv file selection.

Regards,

Baskaran,

The key here is "ACCEPT" attribute of file upload. Even if SAP add it later, we have to wait for MS to fix IE (make it true HTML 4.0 browser) -- IE docs even does not mention ACCEPT attribute on <input type="file" />

Compare
