What version of IE are we talking here: IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9
Is there an error message?
Do you have ActiveX enabled since this is a security risk accessing the file system?

Hey satheesh,
I tried your code and it did not run in firefox in the begining, later i tried it in internet explorer which asked me to allow the Active X controller to run...
once i allowed the activeX controller in IE and then selected a file i got some output of 13 bytes...

Your code works fine.......

Try to enable the ActivX controller

Try to experiment with other options in the security tab....
Mostly this error would be due to "Initializing and Script Activex controls not marked as safe"-----

if that doen't work try out this

any other method to find the file size before uploading

i think this method is not efficient because we check the system whenever the application is running
so suggest any other method with in application

That error normally means your security settings are set too high still.

BUT just think, if you are having this much trouble, imagine what your users are going to go through. It is not worth it.
