can you send me an example of the template implementation ??

This is a nice and elegant solution, but after some development I’m about to give up implementing this and going to a flash solution. The reason is that this solution increases a lot the development complexity, because you can’t test the upload progress bar under django development server (that can only handle 1 request at once).

Has anyone got a solution for this?

cheers
Luis

I tried to get a similar upload process to work for IE and fooliecache ended up working for me as well. Thanks!

I implemented your solution in a branch of a project of mine and i’m very happy with it.

Good job!

I had an hard time making it work with Internet Explorer,
After several hours of debugging (in the painful MS world) i realized that IE when issuing an ajax GET request by default serves cached content.

So to circumvent this behaviour you can add a parameter in the request uri like:

1	$.getJSON("http://my-address-here.com/checkprogress?X-Progress-ID={{progress}}&fooliecache"+i

This would be useful if there were enough details – things mentioned in the text seem to be missing. For example, step one says you put this custom implementation in a separate file – how about a link to the file, or at least show it?

It says you particularly liked “this progress bar” but there is no link or description of any particular progress bar.

In the 3rd bullet it says “it’s all documented in the original solution mention at the start of this post” but there is no such mention or link.

The slowdown may be because of firebug – known issue with timers causing high system load.
