Have a look at the jQuery Uploadify plugin. It can check file sizes, but it uses flash internally to get this info.

You can't do this with jQuery...or with JavaScript at all :) Mainly for security reasons you can't allowed to do most things with files (at least using only JavaScript).

However there are non-pure-JS alternatives that may be an option, like SWF Upload, Uploadify, fancyupload, etc.
There's a question here with a decent list of alternatives available.
