Try:

HTML

<head>
<script>
function GetFileSize()
{
   var myFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   var filepath = document.upload.file.value;
   var selectedfile = myFSO.getFile(filepath);
   var size = selectedfile.size;
   alert("File size:"+ size + " bytes");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="TestUpload">
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="button" value="Size" onClick="GetFileSize();">
</form>
</body>
</html>

5'ed!

Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level

In the ActiveX controls and Plugins group enable the Initialize and script Activex controls not marked as safe for script option
