Re: How to display an active GIF image after page submit

[Adam Hardy]

Since the file upload is part of the request that the browser sends to 
the server, I don't think the server can start the response until the 
request is finished, and even then it is also probably browser-dependent 
whether the browser would do anything with a response to a request that 
it was still sending.

However I have seen what you are specifying. At eBay when you upload 
pictures. I think you get a pop-up window that flashes 'wait' or 
something. So I suspect you would have to use a javascript solution, and 
possibly via a second browser window. Check out how eBay do it. But 
don't tell them you're looking, they'll probably try to patent it. ;)

This is a newbee question, sorry. I searched the archives but couldn't find

Use case
User enters data on a form, selects a file to upload to the server and
clicks the Submit button.
While the file is uploading and the data is stored to the database display
an image (gif) until the submission is completed and the 'File uploaded
successfully page' is displayed.
How using struts can I display an active GIF on the browser while the file
is uploading?
The gif can be on the same page or on a new window as long as I can close
the new window when the submission completes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Julio
