@Nick - ajax-progress-bar.php emulates some job progress. Actually it calculates percentage based on current time for this demo. Simply enough to show a communication between server side and AJAX JavaScript.

@Mark - Please see the request_handler() function. After browser got reply from the server, element width changes according to the PROGRESS value in XML. To execute command on the server on the button click, you can use classic post-back approach or you can try with AJAX. AJAX can send request to the server in "background", so the current page will not refresh. To start with AJAX, you can use initXMLHttpClient(), send_request() and request_handler() functions. Please do not forget to initialize XMLHttpClient object before sending request. In this example, ajax-progress-bar.php emulates progress of some server work. Actually, it only generates XML with progress value. @Janki - Demo in this post should work in IE6. I test it with IETester and it works. Please try to click on the button "Start" and wait few seconds. Progress bar should grow every 1.5 seconds.

Great article. But how exactly do you embed that to html code. Say I want to execute a command on the server on the click of a button on the page which javascript function do I need to run. Can you please help. Many thanks!

@Wilson - I suppose if you have insert in loop, then you can increase progress value after let's say every 5000 inserts. This progress value should be read in ajax-progress-bar.php. Or just read count(*) of inserted rows, but I'm not sure if MySQL could respond fast with counted rows while inserting at the same time. @Ronny - I'm sorry but ASP.NET is not in list of my technologies. Anyway, your main task will be to customize ajax-progress-bar.php to become ajax-progress-bar.aspx (that means to create simple code to output XML). In send_request() function, you will have to rename function call also. I hope that somebody familiar with ASP.NET will help you more.

i made a large mysql insert query (500,000+ insert lines) and i want to show the users how far they've gone.
is it possible to get the current insert point while the insert page is still loading?
