File Upload ???

[M.V.]

I'm trying to implement a progress indicator using atlas. Note that this
indicator does not have to reflect the real progress but just to let the
user know that the something is being done so that the user does not close
the page as he/she might think that the web application stopped responding.

I realize that the file upload control does not work with the update panel
but is there any other way to show the progress indicator (just an animated
gif)? I guess that it might be possible to use for example Modal Popup.

Any suggestions what would be the best way to achieve this. Please note that
3rd party controls are not an option.

Thanks,
M.V.

If the file upload doesnt work in an atlas panel then I would think the
entire page needs to post back to the server. If I am correct in that and my
understanding of what you are wanting to do then I dont think even a client
side solution would work becuase the moment that upload event is fired the
upload will only begin once the entire page starts to post to the server and
I dont think client side events can happen while the entire page is posting
unless perphaps you get deep into AJAX methodology but I am not an expert in
that area.
