Upload progressbars are pretty common on the web these days, they add a touch of feedback to the long and mysterious process of uploading a file to a website. Unfortunately, the most common methods for doing so involve flash or baring that PHP addons that require a recompiling.
In this post I’m going to talk about creating an upload progress bar without the need for a clunky flash object. I’m going to do it with PHP, jQueryUI and a gracefully-degrading framework-independent library.
