Hi,

I have this program that would upload files from the client to the server,

Now I want to validate the filesize before uploading it into the server..

How can I create this kind of validation? Also I need to track the progress of the upload.

Thanks.

I don't think that's possible. JS shouldn't be able to check files on the client do to security issues. From what I gather, IE may allow this via ActiveX object when security level is set to medium or below. That was a while ago, I'm not sure whether things have changed since.

Maybe flash could help?
