Upload Files progress bar

109 New Member
Hi... i am doing some CGI script using perl. I would like to create a progress bar to indicate the progress of the uploading. Is this possible? i don't have the CGI::ProgressBa r module...

Is it possible to get the number of bytes transfered then divide by the size of the file to upload and then draw a simple image through html?

It is possible yes. Is it easy? No.

I've never used CGI::ProgressBa r, but that might be something worth exploring. Overall though, I think the simpliest method is to simply have an animated gif that implies that the website is working and will be done eventually.

cpan CGI::ProgressBa r

If you want an interactive Progress Bar, the only real way to do it is to use Ajax. This is something that is currently beyond my experience or interest.

Hello, I need to allow an end user to upload video files on a server and in the same time to put the file name and a few infos in a database. It must be very simple for the end user, and uploading with a browser in a form would be perfect since it allows to upload and fill a form in the same time. I'll have full control of the server (no max_size problem etc). The end user connexion is ADSL, the server is on a 100mb internet connexion.

Is there any good and reliable Upload Component for ASP (or ASP.NET)? I need one which provides an upload status bar. As well, it must be able to handle more than 4 gigabytes of data transfer. Internet connections can be unreliable at times. This component needs to be able to resume broken uploads. Thank you for your recommendations.

I have a spot where I allow a user to upload a file to the server. The files are media files so they can be large (25MB). Problem is that while it's uploading, the screen just sits there (yes there's a progress bar at the bottom but that's pretty useless.) Is there a way to do some kind of progress bar that really tells the user what is going on? Is there a different/better way to upload a file ?

Hello all, 1. I am a little new to ASP.NET, so please bear with me. 2. I am trying to create a very simple website which requires an upload box (end user file sizes may be anywhere between 1MB to 10 MB). 3. I would also like to show a progress bar so that the user can see the progress of what he is uploading.

My goal is to upload files without submitting the form. I am not looking for the code here but rather a concept. I did a little research and discovered that I can submit a form to an invisible dynamically creeated iframe (to avoid page reloading) and the server page will invoke the client page (where the form is) with window.parent.foo function. However I suspect that this is an old method and I miss some improved ideas. What can one...
