I'm afraid you can't, at least with standard html controls.

Here you will find a list of attributes you can specify for input tag and there is nothing suitable. http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_input.asp

    W3Schools is rubbish ( http://w3fools.com/ ) but even they haven't failed to notice (right at the top of the list) the `accept` attribute (although it comes with caveats ) – Quentin Mar 01 '11 at 09:44

    @David Dorward: I thank you for the info on w3school, I didn't know about it. By the way: Are the info I'm providing wrong? Are the info provided into the page I linked wrong (provided that the accept attribute won't work in mayors brother and therefore it is useless)? In other words: why the downvote? – Eineki Mar 01 '11 at 11:37
