jQuery Validate image extension case

javascript, jquery, jquery-validate, regex

Solution

`accept` is only for mime types.

You need the `extension` rule if you want to specify by file extension.

See: http://jqueryvalidation.org/extension-method/

Problem

I am using jquery validate to validate image upload extension. Right now I have something like: ``` $("#photo").rules("add", { accept: "jpg|jpeg|png|" }); ``` The problem is that this would only accept if the extension is lower case. I could do ``` $("#photo").rules("add", { accept: "jpg|jpeg|png|JPG|JPEG|PNG" }); ``` But I would like this to work even if the extension is jPG or JPg. I tried this regex: ``` accept: "/\.(jpe?g|gif|png)$/i" ``` Don't know if my regex is wrong or if the plugin just doesnt accept regex. Any idea? Thanks!
