validation txt,doc,pdf file using javascript

you need to upload only text file or what ? @vandan

@ahkeravi yes i need to upload text file doc file and pdf so how to validate

@vandan I guess you have a typo in your extensions list, it should be txt instead of text.

['gif', 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'txt', 'rtf', 'doc', 'pdf']

@sti3bas yes i changed txt but same error

i used ubuntu so text file is diffrent?

@vandan $.inArray(ext, ['gif','png','jpg','jpeg','txt','rtf','doc','pdf']) == -1 will return true if extension is not found in the given list. And as far as I understand $('#error1').slideDown("slow"); should show the error. Seems like your condition is wrong, it should be $.inArray(ext, ['gif','png','jpg','jpeg','txt','rtf','doc','pdf']) != -1 so that the error would only be shown when extension is not found in the list.

@vandan you can remove whichever file you want to upload

(['gif','png','jpg','jpeg','rtf','pdf'])

remove text and doc from array it will work

@sti3bas no sir i want check if only text/pdf/jpg like file are store so but i use extension of text file 'txt' then error validation wrong so how to check in can ubuntu text file extension is diffrent?

@ahkeravi no sir i want all file like pdf text all above extesnion are use and validate so and i check in condition txt in not support may be

@vandan well, you can console.log(ext); to check the extension of the file you're trying to upload and add it to the list.

@sti3bas yes i try display file like c:\fakepath\git step

so not extension show

then you can use jquery for that u can easily achive this
