Upload Status

[rube]

Hi,
is there any way to create a js status bar for file uploads?
i realize that js cannot access the file system of a client computer, so there's no way to create a real transfer status bar.

i have a perl script that uploads files to the server. if the page is used on its own in a browser, the status bar indicates transfer progress, but if i use that page within a frame, there is no status indicator. can i mirror the status in a page using js?

thanks
