Re: progress bar for uploading files

This wouldn't work for uploading files however since the long part of the process is the act of uploading the file and until that completes your "save.php" (or whatever) isn't called. So in regards to file uploading it has to be done with Javascript. What you do below is great for scripts that just take a long time though. -philip On Fri, 16 Aug 2002, Peter J.
