JavaScript, running in the browser in a standard security context, has no way to determine this.

You have to handle this check server side.

There is no way doing it using JavaScript.

There is a way of doing it with javascript.

If the browser supports window.FileReader and window.Blob, which most do, then yes, you can.

if ( window.FileReader && window.Blob )
{
    // get your file from wherever...
    // tacky check jpg in the mime type 
    if ( yourFile.type.indexOf("jpeg") )
    {
        ....
    }
}
