I don't see why this is related to the programming language you run one the server in order to calculate the uploaded percentage. I programmed this in php and java (servlet) without problems. I uploaded via an iframe and on the server side periodically wrote javascrip- tags to that iframe. The code in those javascript tags gets executed whenever received. They look like: <javascript> parent.tellUserPrecentageLeft(33); </javascript> Worked for me in all normal browsers.
