Hi Guys
I need some help making a javascript progress bar. It can be a GIF image too and not so complex code is required. I am giving a sample code below and try to explain what I need.
<!-- Page1 code -->
[HTML]<html>
<body>
<form action="sec_tes t.php" method="post">
Enter the website address:
<input type="text" name="Path">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
[/HTML]
<!-- Page2.php --> - <?php
-
$r=$_POST["Path"];
-
$output=`tracert $r`;
-
echo "<pre>";
-
echo $output;
-
echo "</pre>";
-
?>
What I need help with is that. All progress bars I have found in javascript have a specific timeout condition. But in my case, it is indefinite. Say if the user enters www.google.com, then the time it takes will vary from the time it would take to tracert www.yahoo.com. My actual code is more complex than this and might take 5 - 30 mins to load also. So I need some condition which tells that before the page loads and displays the result in Page2, it should display the loading bar and once the results are displayed, the loading bar should disappear. It can be a GIF image or a proper progress bar or anything for that matter. Could someone please give me some directions. I am fairly new to development and any help will be much appreciated. Its urgent too, kindly reply asap.
Thanks!!!
If javascript is not the right thing I should be working on, please let me know :)

did you say 5 - 30 minutes?
did you say 5 - 30 minutes?
PS: Tracert is just an example to replicate the problem that I am facing.
I am using a tool like Nessus through command line on Windows. It might take 5min to run a scan or may take 30min also, depending on the user input. I have done all the processing and it works fine. It runs the scan and displays the output too. However, there is a very long delay and Page1 seems to be halted for quite a long time.
But the problem is, even if I write a loading bar script in Page2, it will not display the loading bar until command prompt has finished processing and returns the result. This has been done using backticks in PHP -
-
$output=`tracert www.xyz.com`
-
-
or I can do it using Windows Scripting Host (WSH) too using the code below. -
-
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
-
$ret="tracert.bat"; //batch file has the command --> tracert www.xyz.com
-
$oExec = $WshShell->Run($ret, 7, true);
-
break;
-
-
I am actually fine by just displaying some text saying... "Your Scan is running, please wait..."
Does not need to be a progress bar necessarily but I think I will be able to figure it out myself. Just need a tip from someone how this text can be displayed when I submit the website address and before the tracert is complete. Also, how to make it disappear when tracert returns its output.
Should I have some onunload javascript on Page1 instead of having it on Page2 onload, which can process tracert command in command prompt and then call Page2.php so that I can display the results. I am open to all options if I can display some progress indicator between the two pages.
Thank you in advance!
I don't know if anyone read my question. But I don't need it now. I think its late for the answer. Thanks :)

You can display an image that could already be present on the page, e.g.
[HTML]<img id="image" src="progress.g if" style="display: none">[/HTML] The style setting hides the image. Once you are ready to show it, set the display property to "block" or "inline", e.g. - document.getElementById("image").style.display = "block";

Thanks for your reply. Displaying the image is not a problem but it displays the image after the command tracert is finished. Because tracert processing takes control from the web page and does not let any other command execute before it has finished processing.
I will be trying some Flash preloaders I think. Thanks for replying for my query.
Thanks!!!

So why not display the image before the tracert command is executed?
I am sorry if this is an annoying one. If you try to run the command and make two php files doing this, you will notice that as soon as the user clicks Submit website address, the form gets submitted and the control is taken over by tracert command. Backticks function
[PHP]
`tracert www.xyz.com`;
[/PHP]
This command is similar to
[PHP]
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Sh ell");
$tra="tracertCh eck.bat"; //command for tracert www.xyz.com
$oExec = $WshShell->Run($tra, 7, true);
[/PHP]
What this code does is - it says on the Page 1 and does not load the tracert results until the command is finished. Also, it immediately passes the control to the command (or runs the batch file).
I even tried to make it from TRUE to FALSE but what that does is that it passes the control to Page2 immediately and starts exexuting the rest of the code on that page and there is no means left to track whether cmd has finished processing or not.This leads to another problem since I am using a database in the backend which fetches the results from SQL Server 2005. And I have SQL queries written on that page2. It starts executing the SQL queries at the same time resulting in incorrect results. And there is no place like - after submitting the Page1 and before executing Page2.
I admit it is difficult for me to explain the situation but I would like to ask you a favour please. Please try to run it. It will make sense to you what I am saying.
If I put a progressing.gif on Page 2, it will not display it until the command has finished processing and IE stays on Page 1 itself.
Thank you for trying to help me. If I get a solution, I will post it.
Regards.

How about putting the progress image on page 1 and displaying that as soon as submit is clicked?

Hi,
in a post from 1995 ('why pass references?') in this group, Steve
Clamage said reading the value of an indeterminate pointer (no
dereferencing taking place) is undefined behavior. While I am in no
doubt about this, I could not find it in the Standard. Apart from the
fact that I did not know where to look, the search function did not turn
up anything useful. Can somebody please provide a page/paragraph number?
Thanks!
