RE: [PHP] Re: progress in php (was "Re: [PHP] Working pop-up progress window")
David, A window will popup with the progress meter. Obviously don't block popups and try using a larger file if you have a high speed line, it takes a second for the meter to start and if the upload is done it won't popup properly.

That's correct. I didn't make that clear enough in my first post. When I
call the popup I give it a name (i.e. MyWindow) and when I try to close it
I call MyWindow.close() and it still will not close.

There might be a proper way, but this should work:
MyWindow = window.open('', 'MyWindow');
MyWindow.close();

Re: [PHP] Working pop-up progress window

I've had the most luck using the pop-up window method. In the
element I call onSubmit="{open some window here}" This works as the
pop-up
appears while the file is transferring. Here's where I run into
problems.
I've tried all kinds of examples found on google and can never get it
to
work right.
In the script where my form goes to, I'm supposed to use a
on
the page containing the form. Either my pop-up stays open or I close
the
parent window.

RE: [PHP] Working pop-up progress window
Hi Ed,
Every time I see someone ask about an upload meter a hardcore programmer writes back
saying no one ever asks for it so why should anyone work on one? I have a demo up of
what you might be looking for, check it out here:

You will need to recompile PHP but its a very convenient tool that many of my clients
ask for, enjoy.

Subject: [PHP] Working pop-up progress window
I've read through the archives and run through some of the suggestions
given for progress bars and pop ups with animated gifs and haven't had
much luck.
I've had the most luck using the pop-up window method. In the
element I call onSubmit="{open some window here}" This works as the pop-up
appears while the file is transferring. Here's where I run into problems.

Does anybody have a working example I could work off of so I could please
my boss. Personally, I didn't want to do this but he thinks we should have
these flashy things on out site.
Thanks,
Ed
