I have a simple upload form, works fine. But when people upload large files it appears like the form hangs. So they keep hitting "submit". I'd like an image to appear indicating that the file is uploading - not a real progress bar, just an animated GIF.

I tried placing it before the actual CFFILE command on the action page, but it does not appear until AFTER the upload is complete. Tried a simple text swap on the "Submit" button, but it's too subtle - people miss it.

Tried a CFINCLUDE before the CFFILE. Again, it did not appear until after the upload was complete.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Rick

How about an iframe or submitting the form to a hidden page, then having the page redirect when it's finished to effect the original page/frame?


So, submit to an iframe and when you press the submit button pop a loading div/image on top of the page, then on the cffile page, have it refresh the page or change the parent.location attribute using javascript.

Try sending the form to a popup window that says "Please wait while your files are uploading." Put a pinwheel GIF on there, too. People think something's going in those tubes if there's something spinning.

Have your results page display something like: "Your files have finished uploaded. Excuse the delay; the tubes are clogged." and a button to close the window.
