You're thinking <progressmeter>, which was already suggested. The
element <gauge>/<gage> (I do not pretend to have accurate information on
which spelling is more widely used), is intended to show a percentage in
situations where a progress meter would be confusing, like in search
engines where they give you a percent match to your query. This need not
resemble a progress bar.
