The comma-separated list of MIME encodings.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the Accept property to restrict the user from selecting any file other than an image file. For this example to work properly, you need to create a directory called Temp on your computer's drive C. Because support for the Accept property is browser-dependent, a server-side check is performed to ensure that only images are uploaded. An exception is thrown if the uploaded file can not be read as an Image type.

Remarks
Use this property to specify the file type that can be uploaded to the server. For example, to restrict the selection to images, set this property to "image/*".
Note
Support for this property is browser-dependent. Check your browser to determine whether it supports this property. It is recommended that you use server-side code to ensure that the file is of the expected type.
