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>
