checking image size before upload

Question

I noticed when uploading a profile pic to Twitter that its size is checked before upload. Can anyone point me to a solution like this?

Thanks

I have tested this code in chrome and it works fine.

var x = document.getElementById('APP_LOGO'); // get the file input element in your form
var f = x.files.item(0); // get only the first file from the list of files
var filesize = f.size;
alert("the size of the image is : "+filesize+" bytes");

var i = new Image();
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsDataURL(f);
i.src=reader.result;
var imageWidth = i.width;
var imageHeight = i.height;
alert("the width of the image is : "+imageWidth);
alert("the height of the image is : "+imageHeight);
