You need to use useful jQuery validation plugin which does support the files you want to allow for upload other than other nice options.

You can use the accept property of the validation plugin to allow file types you want, here is an example:

$("#form_id").validate({
  rules: {
    field: {
      required: true,
      accept: "gif|jpeg"
    }
  }
});
