Re: [jQuery] jQUpload - request for features
Hi Alexandre, I took a look at your demo at http://www.pixeline.be/test/jquery/ jqUpload/test.html and I liked it. My requirements are simple: o Show an animated icon while the upload is in progress... A progress bar like in your demo is nice too. :-) o A customizable look is also a requirement. o Be able to specify a callback function that does whatever (e.g. block the UI and start the file upload) as soon as the file is selected. o Be able to specify a callback function when the upload is complete so that I can maybe unblock other UI on the page. o A less important one is be able to abort the transfer and specify a callback function if that happens. And I think that's it. Again your demo looks great and very promising. I've been wanting to do this for a while since I started seeing this trend in gmail and .Mac web mail. I was going to get started and reinvent the wheel but I would rather use a jquery plug-in as I'm already sold on jquery which I started using for our projects at work replacing prototype.js.

Re: [jQuery] jQUpload - request for features
Hi Ricardo: o Show an animated icon while the upload is in progress... A progress bar like in your demo is nice too. :-) o A customizable look is also a requirement. - upon release, i will give out the flash file so you will have full control over the animation. What i want to provide is a toolbox. You can use it as such, or make your own customized out of it. o Be able to specify a callback function that does whatever (e.g. block the UI and start the file upload) as soon as the file is selected. - callback is nice, thanks i 'll add it in the to-do list o A less important one is be able to abort the transfer and specify a callback function if that happens. Ok, if i understand you well, you want to be able to control the flash file at every step of the process. I'll try to implement that. I'm not a very proficient person in javascript so this will take some time. I do it as an exercise to improve myself in this area, and to give back to the community a piece of what i have received.

Thank you, Alexandre is it possible to get the source files so i can adapt it to asp.net? maybe that way the plugin can become cross server language. I was intrigued on how it was possible to make a flash load indicator and i saw this component : http://www.element-it.com/MultiPowUpload.aspx. Anyway i'm a php programmer but i'm busy with an asp.net site now so i want to make the best of it and work on a great jquery plugin at the same time, if you want.

Re: [jQuery] jQUpload - request for features
hi Alexandre, There is a perl module that one of our developers built for Apache2 that you may wish to look at as it has a lot of the upload meter functionality built in. It takes care of the server side and sends XML back to the browser to update the meter. I'm sure the front end could use a jQuery makeover. You can see a demo of it at: http://cees.crtconsulting.ca/perl/talks/yapc_ajax_and_perl/examples/UploadProgress/ Details on how to get it running are here http://www.mail-archive.com/cgiapp@lists.erlbaum.net/msg05269.html Regards, David Alexandre Plennevaux wrote: hello, i'm in need of a good cross platform solution for file upload with progress indication.
