sweet. works great - when i upload a good file (small enough) everything 
works, and when it is too large, the server doesn't respond, and i get a
"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
message. that's the good part... but how do i inform the user that he 
was blocked because of the filesize?

i understand that there is a validates_filesize_of or something 
similar-named, but i don't have rmagick and i understood that was a 
requirement ...

so i'm thinking of using the script above, but this fails to deliver a 
notice either ... i'm working on firefox::ubntu (linux debian release) 
... could this be the prob with the javascript?

bottom line - lighttpd limits filesize, but how do i notify the user in 
the best manner? (this could all be done on the client-side, as lighttpd 
blocks the file ... but if the model validation works ... that would go 
too )
