<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regarding the web foms extensions to file uploads -
when a file upload in progress it would be extremely useful to have a dom
accessible value representing either the percentage of the total file(s) size
transferred, or the number of bytes of the file uploaded and the
total bytes to be transferred. This would allow the developer to
display feedback as to how much longer the user is likely to have to wait -
(imagine uploading a 46MB movie file and wondering if the site is
actually working or if that icon is just going to keep spinning for the
next 4 days..) something that can only currently be achieved (to my knowledge)
by using server side components to track upload progress and continuously
requesting that information at the client side. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suppose this could either be present at the
form submission level or as part of the file form element? It wouldn't have to
be accurate to the nearest byte transferred, it would only serve as a means to
inform the user of overall progress.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kind Regards,</FONT></DIV>
