black.gif is an extremely small square I made in paint.

hi ...

good work very simple ... yes :) ... have a look at the following example that uses no image at all ... simply div/css, may be that could be used as an alternative pure dhtml-solution:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

    <head>

        <script type="text/javascript">

        var prg_width = 200;
 
        function progress() {

            var node = document.getElementById('progress');

            var w    = node.style.width.match(/\d+/);
 
            if (w == prg_width) {

                w = 0;

            }
 
            node.style.width = parseInt(w) + 5 + 'px';

        }
 
        </script>

    </head>
 
    <body onload="var progress_run_id = setInterval(progress, 250);">
 
        <div style="border: 1px solid black; width:200px; height:5px;">

            <div id="progress" style="height:5px; width:0px; background-color:red;"/>

        </div>
 
    </body>

</html>

kind regards

Nice I never thought of doing it like that, I was going to add on to it making it more complecated when I got time.

Thanks, Death

You could show the current percentage complete as the next step.

If this could be linked to some activity rather than just progress at regular intervals, it might have more use rather than just replace an animated loading indicator image.

Yeah I planned on doing just that. The problem is, my free time is at an all time low. I have an extra credit site i'm working on, a site for a friends club, and high school to deal with :). So the second I get some free time, hopefully i'll have some in my first period, biology=boredom.

Really simple and useful progress bar.
BTW, how to detect the software image in jar or zip on completing download/upload so the progress bar disappears after loading.
Thanks.

could you please explain in more detail what you want to do? typically you should wrap the shown code in a function and call it to start the progress-bar when you start a XMLHttpRequest. When the request is ready you just have to clear the interval and/or hide the progress-bar and display the received result in the request-object's final callback ...

kind regards
