Syntax: element.setAttribute(attributename,attributevalue)

Your code should look like this

document.getElementById("files").setAttribute("multiple","false");

Actually i tried that before, but it didn't work because the problem was elsewhere in the code. Anyway, thanks for the help.

The jquery way for this would be

 $('input:file[name="some_name"]').attr('multiple', 'false');
