It's been a few years, and Chrome at least makes use of this attribute. This attribute is very useful from a usability standpoint as it will filter out the unnecessary files for the user, making their experience smoother. However, the user can still select "all files" from the type (or otherwise bypass the filter), thus you should always validate the file where it is actually used; If you're using it on the server, validate it there before using it. The user can always bypass any client-side scripting.

是的，它在支持它的浏览器中非常有用，但“限制”是为了方便用户(这样他们就不会被无关的文件淹没)，而不是为了阻止他们上传你不想让他们上传的东西。

Accept属性是在RFC 1867中引入的，目的是为文件选择控件启用基于MIME类型的文件类型过滤。但是到2008年为止，大多数(如果不是全部的话)浏览器都没有使用这个属性。使用客户端脚本，您可以为提交正确类型(扩展)的数据创建一种基于扩展的验证。

其他高级文件上传解决方案需要Flash电影(如SWFUpload)或Java applet(如JUpload)。

在2015年，我发现让它同时适用于Chrome和Firefox的唯一方法是把所有你想支持的扩展，包括变体(包括前面的点!):

accept=".jpeg, .jpg, .jpe, .jfif, .jif"

Firefox的问题:使用图像/jpeg mime类型的Firefox将只显示。jpg文件，非常奇怪，好像普通的。jpeg是不行的…

无论您做什么，一定要尝试使用具有许多不同扩展名的文件。 也许这甚至取决于操作系统…我认为accept是不区分大小写的，但可能不是在每个浏览器中。

下面是关于accept的MDN文档:

接受 如果type属性的值是file，则该属性将指示服务器接受的文件类型，否则为 会被忽略。必须为逗号分隔的唯一性列表 内容类型说明符: 以STOP字符(U+002E)开头的文件扩展名。(例如。jpg， .png， .doc)。 没有扩展的有效MIME类型。 Audio /*表示声音文件。HTML5 Video /*表示视频文件。HTML5 Image /*表示图像文件。HTML5

If the browser uses this attribute, it is only as an help for the user, so he won't upload a multi-megabyte file just to see it rejected by the server... Same for the <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000"> tag: if the browser uses it, it won't send the file but an error resulting in UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE (2) error in PHP (not sure how it is handled in other languages). Note these are helps for the user. Of course, the server must always check the type and size of the file on its end: it is easy to tamper with these values on the client side.

在2008年，由于缺少移动操作系统，这一点并不重要，但现在却非常重要。

当你设置可接受的mime类型时，例如，Android用户会得到系统对话框，应用程序可以为他提供文件输入接受的mime内容，这是很棒的，因为在移动设备上的文件资源管理器中浏览文件是缓慢的，经常有压力。

重要的一点是，一些移动浏览器(基于Android版本的Chrome 36和Chrome Beta 37)不支持应用程序对扩展和多种mime类型的过滤。
