You can check the filesize by files[0].sizetry the following:
$('#myFile').bind('change', function() { //this.files[0].size gets the size of your file. alert(this.files[0].size); });

+1 upvoted as this is a legitimate answer and the downvote without a comment is unacceptable
try this to get file size
document.getElementById('fileid').addEventListener('change', checkFile, false);
function checkFile(e) {
var file_list = e.target.files;
for (var i = 0, file; file = file_list[i]; i++) {
var fileExtension = file.name.split('.')[file.name.split('.').length - 1].toLowerCase();
var iConvert = (file.size / 1024).toFixed(2);
txt = "File type : " +fileExtension + "\n";
if(file.size > (1024 * 1024)){
txt += "Size: " + (file.size / (1024*1024)).toFixed(2) + " MB \n";
} else {
txt += "Size: " + (file.size / 1024).toFixed(2) + " KB \n";
}
alert(txt);
}
}

is this compatible with older browsers?

i did not try with older browsers, but I think it will work fine with older browsers..
If browser supports File API.
if (typeof FileReader !== "undefined") {
var size = document.getElementById('file_input_field_id').files[0].size;
} else {
console.log("File API is not supported");
var size = -1;
}
If you want to get file size on client side w/o File API, needs to use flash. You can use lib like FileAPI.js for this

browser not supports File API.
You can check the file size like this.
Lets say your HTML is:
<input type="file" id="file" />
var size = document.getElementById('file').files[0].size;
