How to check the size of an uploaded file using Jquery and Jquery form validation plugin?

Question

I want to implement the Jquery validation on the client. When a user is going to upload a file, the Jquery will check the size of the file and if it exceeds the max size, a user can not upload the file. How to do it using Jquery or Jquery validation plugin?

Answer 1

You can't do it with JQuery. The problem is that javascript can not access the file system.
