Subject: Re: Get file size before download (noobish question)

>> For IE:
>> 
>> function getFileSize(file) {
>>     var oas = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
>>     var e = oas.getFile(file);
>>     var f = e.size;
>>     return f;

... as of uploading:

how do i use this function? i want to check out the file size before 
allowing the user to upload a file or not (essentially, i should be able 
to limit file size uploads from lighttpd [which is what i am running] 
but i couldn't seem to find any  doc on how to do it) so i'm thinking of 
sending an ajax request to see what the file size of the upload is, and 
then pass the upload, if it is the right size.

the script above seems quite handy for this purpose (btw, this works 
only for IE?)
but i don't know what needs to go into the 'file' parameter ... i tried 
supplying a path to the file on my system, for a check 
"getFileSize('/home/shai/test.size') " but that didn't work .. what 
parameter am i supposed to supply to the function?

tia...
