Described on W3Schools the accept attribute can handle the following values:

<input accept="file_extension|audio/*|video/*|image/*|media_type" />

file_extension
- A file extension starting with the U+002E FULL STOP character, e.g: .gif, .jpg, .png, .doc
audio/*
- All sound files are accepted
video/*
- All video files are accepted
image/*
- All image files are accepted
media_type
- A valid media type, with no parameters (A list of valid media_types is provided here).

There are all of your asked types described (e.g. .csv)

what browser do you use for testing? have you tried `.csv` instead? – ceekay Mar 23 '15 at 14:41
sure the right version? With the media_type i also had problems like mentioned in [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11832930/html-input-file-accept-attribute-file-type-csv) but with the file_extension it works like a charm ... – ceekay Mar 23 '15 at 15:36
