JavaScript progress bar

I want to have a progress bar which should show when I click on a button, e.g. "validate now". My requirement is to check 2000 URLs whether they are working开发者_Python百科 or not. This was taking a lot of time while executing in program. So I need to show a progress bar to the user to know the status. How can I do this using JavaScript?

you could use the jQuery UI Progress bar simple, good looking and easy to implement, you just need to update the value every second or two.

$("#progressbar").progressbar({
        value: 37
    });

---

You would have to use Ajax and hit the server/ database every 2-3 second and fetch the status and display on web page. To display progress bar you can use table with different tds and set the background color of these td cells with the status result.

For progress bar create a table with 10 cells of equal width and say the status is 40% then you will set background of first 4 cells indicating 40%.

---

You could use ProgressBar.js. No dependencies, easy API and supports major browsers.

var line = new ProgressBar.Line('#container');
line.animate(1);

See more examples of usage in the demo page.

Pure JavaScript is not possible, you need to use Ajax to get the current status which requires Server-Side Scripting (I guess PHP in your case).

Store the total and completed URLs (or their counts) in the database or in a session and use get the percentage of completed URLs from there in PHP, called by a JavaScript Ajax request. Then give the percentage to the jQuery bar as Prutswonder suggested in another answer.

I suggest using JSON or simply Plaintext to receive the Data in JavaScript, XML would be unneccessary overhead (so it's actually AJAJ or AJAP, not Ajax).

I found a pop up Javascript bar. Might need some modifications to fit what you have in mind, but looks promising.

code is

<style>
<!--
.hide { position:absolute; visibility:hidden; }
.show { position:absolute; visibility:visible; }
-->
</style>

You can make the progress bar by increasing the div width at some interval of time.

For example, you may increase the 1px width of div at each 50 milliseconds like,

var width = 1
function render (){
    if(width <=100){
        // apply width to div for progress bar
        div.style.width = width + "px";
        setTimeout(
            function (){
                render();
                width++;
            },50
        );
    }
}
render();
