Although I strictly need something that will display a 'loading, please wait message' - while uploading a file from your local machine. The javascript suggestion sounds good i guess I could create a popup window using an 'onclick' event could i then close that somehow, after execution? [/quote] never mind people - i've worked it out ;) Thanks Mike

It can however be done with a mixture of HTML, PHP and JavaScript to create an illusion of a progress bar (i.e. the animated gif method), to get a true progress bar with a percentage and maybe even an upload speed, you'd need something like AJAX or asp.net I guess. [/quote] OK - so how would I do it using javascript and php. Sorry for the simple question - but my js skills are pretty limited

[/quote] So is there NO way of doing a simple animated gif then? Mike

I realise that a progress bar for php isn't possible without using perl etc.. So what I want to do (if possible), is redirecting people to a 'loading please wait' page upon clicking the submit button on the form. Then dealing with the file upload. Then redirecting back to the original page. Is that possible? If so, how?!
