IE doesn't support this feature :(

I had found a great plugin for file upload jQuery-File-Upload

or you better use an ActiveX control to perform this action

function getSize()
{
 var myFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
 var filepath = document.upload.file.value;
 var thefile = myFSO.getFile(filepath);
 var size = thefile.size;
 alert(size + " bytes");
}

I have tried like this but it give an error "Automation server can't create object"

The error "Automation Server Can't Create Object" means that your browser's security settings are too low for the ActiveX control to run. You have to move your page into the trusted sites list and lower the ActiveX settings so it can run.
