It's insane that pretty much every piece of software out there that uploads data to a server has an upload & a download progress bar. Whenever submitting a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" and an input with type='file'. A progress bar should show up, and show the percentage of the upload/post progress. The hacks a web designer has to go through to get a progress bar are hideous, and are not cross-platform/browser compatible. This would be a killer feature, because file/post sizes are getting bigger and bigger, plus it would save thousands if not millions of collective hours for web developers instead of creating some double connect ajax hack. I beg of you as a web developer PLEASE ADD THIS. If just 1 browser added it, and touted this feature, almost all others would be sure to follow. | It's insane that pretty much every piece of software out there that uploads data to a server has an upload & a download progress bar.

: '''lobo235''': I second this notion and have another idea that could make this work better. When the form is submitted let's say there are three files being uploaded along with some other fields. When each file is being uploaded the progress bar could be shown by changing the background color of the file upload field that corresponds to that file. So when the file is 25% uploaded the left 1/4 of the file input would be green while the other 3/4 on the right would be white. I think that this would be an awesome feature to have before any other browsers do. | |||
