You didn't say what framework/backend language you are using. When it comes to Rails, the only way to do it as far as I know is by adding the mongrel_progress plugin to mongrel and serving your app that way. You need full access to the VPS/server to do it. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/UploadProgress Flash-based uploaders are a lot easier, they monitor upload progress clientside and don't need serverside "hacks" nor a periodical updater firing off requests every few seconds to monitor progress. I doubt there's any ready-made just-plug-something-in solution out there, because you really need to understand what you are actually doing. For SWFUpload gotchas in Rails applications, I'm referring to a thread I participated in a while ago detailing all the steps needed to take to get SWFUpload to work seamlessly with Rails > 2. Most of the stuff that's in there will probably apply to other frameworks too (maybe a slightly different implementatio). If the javascript and tips are totally gibberish for you, I would go for a simple non-ajax upload until you're more familiar with clientside web technology. http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/45f70281a5992fa7 Best regards Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
