Form Uploading Progress

Hi all...

Is there some kind of add-in which would alert the person filling out and uploading a form about its progress?

I have a form that requires two uploaded photos, so based on how fast or slow the connection is, it might take 10 seconds or so to complete the action. I have had people hit the submit button more that once because they didn't think it was working.

I would like some sort of symbol (like a rotating circle) to alert the person to be patient and that form is working on the upload.

Is there such a thing?

Thank you!

Greg

Same question was asked here:

I came up with sort of a solution as long as your form objects don't require any validation. Otherwise there is a not standard solution/extension for this.

Here is a example using bootstrap when the button is clicked it changes to a loading button with a incorporated spinner.

Good one baconfries! :D

I have taken what BF has found and made into an extension. However, it still needs some testing.

@GPK5050, if you are interested in testing it for me, shoot me an email at info@webbuildertemplates.com.

Yes, I think so many people want this now a days maybe it can be brought up as a built-in feature soon someday.

Thanks crispy68 for turning this into an extension. I am sure it will come in handy for those needing this.
