Response to jsharris.

Do you know of any sites where I can get info about ASP and ActiveX?

Depends if you are using ASP, because teh NT host will allow you to create a filesystem object (an activex object) which has a Size method - this is what i use.

Thanks for your response John.

I have thought about placing the file size within a variable but this is not suitable for what I am trying to do.

I want to use the image size information to give viewers an estimated download time. If I could create this script, I'm sure there would be many web-designers who could benefit from it!

I thought that maybe you could do this with ActiveX. I have no previous experience with ActiveX and if there is anyone out there who can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Is there a way with JavaScript to measure the size of a file on a server?

eg. Have a value returned to the user like 20kb
