Not until it gets to the server, no. JavaScript can't read local
filesystem files, Java I believe can - but you can't rely on people
having it installed (I don't for example), even Flash has no local
file access abilities (thank goodness).
 

shamless plug: http://www.radinks.com/upload/ - Rad Upload can impose 
file size limitations before a single byte is transfered. Yes it's java 
- but you can have your web page in such a way so that the java plug in 
auto installs for people who do not have it.
