file upload: check if valid image

Question

I want to upload a file like this:

Is there any way to find out in javascript if the se

Answer 1

Firstly add accept="image/*" on your input, to accept only image files

Second, you can create image object to see if it is true image

function validateAndUpload(input){
    var URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
    var file = input.files[0];

    if (file) {
        var image = new Image();

        image.onload = function() {
            if (this.width) {
                 console.log('Image has width, I think it is real image');
                 //TODO: upload to backend
            }
        };

        image.src = URL.createObjectURL(file);
    }
};​
