Answer 1

You can use

<input name="Upload Saved Replay" type="file" 
  accept="application/pdf,application/msword,
  application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"/>

whearat

• application/pdf means .pdf
• application/msword means .doc
• application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document means .docx

instead.

[EDIT] Be warned, .dot might match too.

Answer 2

$('#surat_lampiran').bind('change', function() {
  alerr = "";
  sts = false;
  alert(this.files[0].type);
  if(this.files[0].type != "application/pdf" && this.files[0].type != "application/msword" && this.files[0].type != "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"){
  sts = true;
  alerr += "Jenis file bukan .pdf/.doc/.docx ";
}
});
