First, you can do some validation if you want. For example, in the onChange event of the file:

$(':file').on('change', function() {
    var file = this.files[0];
    if (file.size > 1024) {
        alert('max upload size is 1k')
    }

    // Also see .name, .type
});

Now the Ajax submit with the button's click:

$(':button').on('click', function() {
    $.ajax({
        // Your server script to process the upload
        url: 'upload.php',
        type: 'POST',

        // Form data
        data: new FormData($('form')[0]),

        // Tell jQuery not to process data or worry about content-type
        // You *must* include these options!
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false,

        // Custom XMLHttpRequest
        xhr: function() {
            var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
            if (myXhr.upload) {
                // For handling the progress of the upload
                myXhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function(e) {
                    if (e.lengthComputable) {
                        $('progress').attr({
                            value: e.loaded,
                            max: e.total,
                        });
                    }
                } , false);
            }
            return myXhr;
        }
    });
});

First, you can do some validation if you want. For example, in the .on('change') event of the file:

$(':file').on('change', function () {
  var file = this.files[0];
 
  if (file.size > 1024) {
    alert('max upload size is 1k');
  }

  // Also see .name, .type
});

Now the $.ajax() submit with the button's click:

$(':button').on('click', function () {
  $.ajax({
    // Your server script to process the upload
    url: 'upload.php',
    type: 'POST',

    // Form data
    data: new FormData($('form')[0]),

    // Tell jQuery not to process data or worry about content-type
    // You *must* include these options!
    cache: false,
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,

    // Custom XMLHttpRequest
    xhr: function () {
      var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
      if (myXhr.upload) {
        // For handling the progress of the upload
        myXhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function (e) {
          if (e.lengthComputable) {
            $('progress').attr({
              value: e.loaded,
              max: e.total,
            });
          }
        }, false);
      }
      return myXhr;
    }
  });
});

$(':button').on('click', function() {
    $.ajax({
        // Your server script to process the upload
        url: 'upload.php',
        type: 'POST',

        // Form data
        data: new FormData($('form')[0]),

        // Tell jQuery not to process data or worry about content-type

        contentType: false,

        // Custom XMLHttpRequest
        xhr: function() {
            var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
            if (myXhr.upload) {
                // For handling the progress of the upload
                myXhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function(e) {
