Hello,
I have an upload form that will be used for some really large files. I need to ask a couple of
questions about the ways of improving the success rate that I have using it.
(1) what is the best and most stable method for uploading a large file. Sometimes the transfer
peters out.
(2) how can I get the status of this process? I need to display a percentage uploaded, or a ASCII
progress bar, or a progress of some sort. The current form just leaves a user wondering if his
browser has crashed or something. Will I need to trigger a repeat loop in a pop-up that checks
filesize and displays it?
comments, snippets, ideas? TIA
