This should get you started.

 function validate(el) { var maxfilesize = 1024 * 1024, // 1 Mb filesize = el.files[0].size, warningel = document.getElementById( 'lbError' ); if ( filesize > maxfilesize ) { warningel.innerHTML = "File too large: " + filesize + ". Maximum size: " + maxfilesize; return false; } else { warningel.innerHTML = ''; return true; } } 

 .warning { font-style: italic; } 

 <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST"> <input type='file' name='f' onchange='validate(this)'> <div id='lbError' class='warning'></div> <input type='submit' onsubmit='return validate()'/> </form>
