FLUID-2198: OSDPL: Can't upload any images except JPG files.

Description

A bug in imagefield.js javascript file causes a "The file ____ is not supported. Only the following file types are supported" on all valid images except JPGs.

This is a documented bug here: http://drupal.org/node/352939

Temporarily fixed this bug by modifying the imagefield.js file to properly accept other valid file types.

Waiting for an official patch.

  Solution as seen on http://drupal.org/node/352939

  Description

  1) CCK 5.x-1.10
  2) ImageField 5.x-2.2
  3) 755 permission, www-data owner for files/ directory; 777, root for tmp/ directory
  4) private download method
  5) configuration (all that matters):
  Permitted upload file extensions: jpg jpeg png gif
  6) I expect to be able to upload all 4 types of files (jpg jpeg png gif)
  7) I can only upload the first file type (jpg). A javascript alert box appears when trying to upload jpeg, png or gif files.
  8) Create new content type
  Create imagefield cck field with the 4 file types above
  Create new node, try to upload picture with extension jpeg, png, gif
  An alert box is displayed saying you can't upload the image.

  I have investigated this problem and found that it is caused by a non-global javascript replace function. The function call on line 14 of imagefield.js
  accept = this.accept.replace(',','|');

  only replaces the first comma (the one separating jpg and jpeg). Taking the configuration above, the value of accept would be set to 'jpg|jpeg,png,gif'. It should be 'jpg|jpeg|png|gif'. The correct replace function is
  accept = this.accept.replace(/\,/g,'|');
