File upload progress bar.
Chaps, Does anyone have any good solution for displaying a file upload progress bar? I essentially have a form which looks like this: form name=upload action=process.cfm method=post input name=NewName type=text / input name=TheFile type=file / input name=Submit type=submit value=Upload Now! / /form On the process.cfm I use a cffile to handle the file, I save it to the FS with a UUID as its path/name and then enter a record into the DB with that unique path and the 'freindly' name which they enter in the form. This is fine however with large files the page sits their whilst the file uploads, in an ideal world I'd have a progress bar showing the percentage uploaded. I've not seen anything which CF has built-in for doing this, have you got any decent 3rd party solutions which any of you have implement successfully?

Recheck: File Upload Progress Bar
I asked this some time ago and got no solutions, but maybe now. I also researched this again and still found no solutions. I'd like to be able to put either a file upload progress bar on a multi-part form, but I'd be happy if I could even just put an animated gif to show that something is happening. The problem is you send the formpage to processpage. The processpage does not process until the file is fully uploaded and you can't output even a uploading message. Tried CFFLUSH, but even that does not process until the file is fully uploaded. Anyone know of a solution for either an upload progress bar (not using flex), or at least to output a message while the file is uploading? Thanks, Robert Robert B.

Re: Recheck: File Upload Progress Bar
I asked this some time ago and got no solutions, Because there is no solution. but maybe now. I also researched this again and still found no solutions. because there is still no solution. Well, there are solutions, but using Flash tools. Searc for multiple upload AND Flash I'd be happy if I could even just put an animated gif to show that something is happening. This cannot be done by the server, but by the client, using some Javascript in some onsubmit event. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316965 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Well, that's what I thought but I had to check again. Things change. Hopefully Adobe will address this problem soon. I'm not the only one raising this issue. I could not find a solution in my search, but I sure found a lot of complaints posted about this. Robert B.

Re: Recheck: File Upload Progress Bar
Hopefully Adobe will address this problem soon. I'm not the only one raising this issue. I could not find a solution in my search, but I sure found a lot of complaints posted about this. Well, before Adobe can address this problem, the entire HTTP standard for client-server communications would have to be addressed. The corner stone of HTTP is that it is stateless and each and every request-response is separate and intendant. So there are very limited ways for a server to communicate with a client and vice-a-versa which does not allow for servers to push new data to a client after a request-response has been processed. With that said, Adobe has addressed this problem by providing technologies outside of the HTTP standard. Flash - Flex - Air, provide alternate Client-Server communication methods where it is entirely possible to maintain state and easily have the server push information to the client such as this. But if you are unwilling to move beyond the HTTP request-response cycle it is unlikely to happen at least not any time soon. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316972 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

You can show an in progress meter using only GIFs and JavaScript. Take a look at this article: http://www.stillnetstudios.com/2007/02/04/animated-in-progress-indicator-for-long-running-pages/ Ian wrote: Well, before Adobe can address this problem, the entire HTTP standard for client-server communications would have to be addressed. The corner stone of HTTP is that it is stateless and each and every request-response is separate and intendant. This is entirely doable right now, just not in ColdFusion I don't think. We would need access to the state of the upload, I don't think there is a way to get that in CF. If we had that you could do some fancy things with application variables and ajax to update a progress meter. -Ryan ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316975 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: Recheck: File Upload Progress Bar
I found a simulated solution using java script that will get me by for now. If a file is uploaded (files are not required) the JS opens a popup window that shows an animated gif (file loading). When the next page opens it closes the window. That will do for now. Sometimes the users just need to see something. Robert B.

RE: Recheck: File Upload Progress Bar
You can try using an IFRAME for the upload file form field.. use javascript on the submit button to hide (or make really small) the iframe and replace it with a animated gif of file uploading.. then when the next page loads, fire a javascript event to change the gif to done!..
