[Madhan Mohan Reddy P]

Hi, I have a button on a HTML page. If i click that button I have to invoke "OpenFile" dialog. Could any one assist please.

Use:

<input type="file" id="fileDialog" />

This would give you browse button on click of which Open File dialog would appear.

Hi Sandeep, Is it posibile to add filters to the openfile dialog box?

[Sandeep Mewara]

Adding accept attribute could work but as W3 says[^], it's not properly handled by recent browsers. Your best bet would be to handle it based on the file extension by yourself at the time of page submit or code behind.
