var fr = new FileReader;
fr.onload = function() { // file is loaded
var img = new Image;
img.onload = function() {
alert(img.width); // image is loaded; sizes are available
};
img.src = fr.result; // is the data URL because called with readAsDataURL
};
fr.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]); // I'm using a <input type="file"> for demonstrating
