I am triggering a file upload on href click.

I am trying to block all extension except doc, docx and pdf.

I am not getting the correct alert value.

<div class=cv> Would you like to attach you CV? <a href= id=resume_link>Click here</a></div>

    <input type=file id=resume style=visibility: hidden>

Javascript:

        var myfile=;

        $('#resume_link').click(function() {

            $('#resume').trigger('click');

            myfile=$('#resume').val();

            var ext = myfile.split('.').pop();

            //var extension = myfile.substr( (myfile.lastIndexOf('.') +1) );



            if(ext==pdf || ext==docx || ext==doc){

                alert(ext);

            }

            else{

                alert(ext);

            }

         })

Better to use change event on input field.

Updated source:

var myfile=;



$('#resume_link').click(function( e ) {

    e.preventDefault();

    $('#resume').trigger('click');

});



$('#resume').on( 'change', function() {

   myfile= $( this ).val();

   var ext = myfile.split('.').pop();

   if(ext==pdf || ext==docx || ext==doc){

       alert(ext);

   } else{

       alert(ext);

   }

});

Updated jsFiddle.
