Hi, Thank you for your answers.
So, I asked my web hosting service and they told me they are using Apache with Rails in FastCGI. As a customer I have no access to their configuration files, thought it seems the guy I'm talking to could help if some modifications in these files were absolutely necessary. Since I won't have access to this conf file, it's not really convenient. Deadorbit: 1) Most files should be < 100kB. But it can also be a video (in flv format). So the file size could just increase up to... I don't know, probably 20Mo (current tests gives 10Mo for a rather long video). 2) I have no problem using Flash. I'm actually a Flash developper who tries to become a RoR dev too :) I just want this progress bar to be compatible with most browsers (so Flash sounds good for that). I didn't expect this to be such an issue :S Pale Horse wrote: > Lily ^_^ wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I have a form that contains a file field. >> >> Since the file can be rather big, I would like to display a progress bar >> after the user clicks the submit button on the page, so he can see the >> progress of the upload. >> >> I've no idea how to do that, so I search on Google but lots of plugins >> seem very old (so maybe irrelevant with Rails 2.3.5 that I'm using in >> this project), some other are not very clear to me.
