[Javascript] Getting the file size

[dev at qroute.net]

For images, that's np problem. I can get the file size before the upload
takes place and reject it right before the costly upload.
All you do is to load the 'browse'd file path into an img tag and get to its
filesize property through the src.
But there is no other tag that I can try for doing the same for an audio or
video file.
