getting file size

[php_developer]

Hello... I want to know that, is it possible to get the size of a file (while uploading it), before it actually uploaded on server ( in case of a form submission )... Means to get the file size at client side while uploading it, and giving an alert in case if size is larger than the specified size , (as client side validation)...

This is nice... But I want to check the file size ("file uploade"), before the form get submitted. Means as we check the file size ( let using php) at server side after it get uploaded... But I want to know that is there any way to get the file size, befor actually submitting the form (i.e. client side validation not at server side )
