RE: [PHP] POST form File Upload Progress Bar?

Here's a quick-and-dirty working example: --------------- <script language="Javascript"> var waitwin; function openWaitWin() { waitwin=window.open("wait.html","wait_window","width=250,height=220,menu bar=no,statusbar=no,toolbar=no"); } function closeWaitWin() { if (waitwin!=null) { waitwin.close(); } } </script> <body onunload='closeWaitWin()'> <form method=post enctype="multipart/form-data" action="myaction.php"> <input type="file" name="test"> <br> <input type="submit" value="go" onclick='openWaitWin()'> --------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: > php-general-return-93284-adhir=govshops.com@lists.php.net > [mailto:php-general-return-93284-adhir=govshops.com@lists.php. net] On Behalf Of CompMan86 > Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 11:23 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] POST form File Upload Progress Bar? > > > Hi, Thanks for your response =) I don't know much about > javascript, so if you could show me an example that would be great. > > "Weston Houghton" <weslists@anapraxis.com> wrote in message news:B8E230B7.A9DF%weslists@anapraxis.com... > > My cheap trick around this is to have an onClick event on the form > submit button that brings up a small window with a progress note in > it, and an animated gif of a prgress bar. > > As the page does not unLoad until the upload is finished, I use the > unLoad event of the body tag to close that progress window. > > Generally works really well for me.
