Create Web 2.0 Progress Bars: jQuery, DHTML, JS, CSS, Photoshop
Progress Bars is one of the most interesting components that web designers like to use in their projects.
They can be used in various places such as: page loading, redirecting, uploading files, sending information using Ajax and so forth.
In this post I’ve made a wonderful package of progress bars.
By reading this post you’ll be able to make some beautiful progress bars for your own use.
I’ve grouped them into four parts:
1. jQuery progress bars
2. JavaScript and DHTML progress bars
3. Create progress bars using CSS
4. Create progress bars using Photoshop
I hope you to enjoy them.
jQuery Progress Bars
HOWTO: PHP and jQuery upload progress bar
“jqUploader is a jquery plugin that substitutes html file input fields with a flash-based file upload widget, allowing to display a progressbar and percentage. It is designed to take most of its customization from the html code of your form directly - so you don’t have to do things twice . For instance, the maximum file size, if specified via html, will be recognized and used in the rich upload interface generated by jqUploader.
The plugin uses the form action attribute value (normally pointing to a server side script handling the upload and other data manipulations, and appends a variable “jqUploader=1″ so that the upload code is initiated when it sees that key/value is on the posted data.”
This is a progress bar plugin for jQuery.
DHTML & JavaScript Progress bars
Todd’s popup progress bar script is used to provide a visual update of an event in progress. Use it, for example, to display a delay before redirecting to another page or loading a script/application
We’ve modified the script so it:
-Works in NS6 as well (default is IE4+ and NS4)
-Ability to specify duration of progress bar display (ie: 5 seconds)
WinXP Progress Bar (version 1.2)
A great looking pure DHTML progress bar that resembles the one seen in Window XP’s startup screen. All visual aspects of the bar can be customized, and the script can be invoked multiple times to display multiple bars on the same page. Script works in both IE5+ and NS6+.

your elements with SVG, style the output with CSS and make the whole thing scriptable.
