upload - How to check the size of an uploaded file using jQuery and jQuery Validate 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 Validate plugin?

Answer 1

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