You're right. It's not easy, if possible at all.

In a normal Internet page, security settings prevent you from getting this information.

There may be third party ActiveX controls that can do this, and with lowered security settings you could use the FileSystemObject and VB Script to get the file size. But, only then in IE and in an Intranet scenario....
