File upload asks for size, type...

I'm trying to make sure that the file upload component validates the size and type of file before submission. Why would it ask for those limitations on the Properties tab if it isn't going to do anything with them?

How do I make it check before submission using jQuery or javascript?
Thanks!

I use this.
$('input[name="file"]').change(function(){
if(this.files[0].size > 10000000){ // 10 meg
$("#docContainer div #fileerror").html("File is too big").css('color', 'red');
$('#fb-submit-button').hide();
}else {
$('#docContainer div #fileerror').html('Valid Image Size').css('color','green');
$('#fb-submit-button').show('slow');
}
});

I then add a custom div with an id of fileerror after export below the file input.
The file type can be added to my code but I'd rather know what type of file your looking at.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
