Maybe I should explain what I'm trying to do.

I'd like to check the size of an upload file on the client machine before
it's uploadad. I realize it's been said that it can't be done, but that's
never stopped me from trying before. ;)

Starting with [input type=file name=theFile size=50>
and an onChange handler that says:
   parent.hiddenFrame.location='file:\\'+theFile.value;
This loads the file in the hiddenFrame. (Also works for previewing gif's)

Next I want to figure out how big it is. If I could get the contents, I
could do a .length on it.

So I can't user <@url>. The host and protocol are different from the parent
frame. I think I'm stuck.

Thanks.
Dave
