Thanks, Stefan. I will take a look at this.

See http://www.atgconsulting.com/progressbar.asp
- or Google for "ASP progress bar" for several JavaScript or other ASP
implementations

| Hi all,
|
| I've posted this to the ASP forum at outfront.net with no substantive
| responses, so I'm hoping this group will prove more helpful.
|
| Using FrontPage 2003, ASPSmartUpload, ASPMail, and the filesystemobject,
| I've created a form that accepts user input and multiple file uploads,
| obtains a job number from a file, returns a confirmation page with a job
| number to the user, and emails the form data, the job number, and
| information about the uploaded files to a service bureau employee. The
form
| page points to an .asp file that contains both the script and the html
for
| the confirmation page. I'm using VBScript.
|
| For the most part it works very well, but now we'd like to get fancy.
|
| Currently, when a user clicks on the "submit" button on the form, there
is
| no visual feedback for him/her except the slow progress bar in the
browser
| to indicate that the upload is progressing. Consequently, some users
| repeatedly click the "submit" button. Ouch.
|
| What I'd like to do is change the screen immediately once the "submit"
| button has been activated so that a) users get some visual feedback and
b)
| they are prevented from re-activating the "submit" button.
|
| Ideally, the header of the confirmation page would be displayed, and
| underneath it a simple message indicating that the file upload is in
| progress, yadda yadda yadda. Once the upload was complete, the file
upload
| message would disappear to be replaced by the confirmation information.
|
| How can I achieve this?
|
| Thanks in advance,
| KEW
