Re: [cgiapp] dynamic stats and progress bar for file uploads

[Cees Hek <suppressed>]

If anyone is still interested, I have been able to get the uploadmeter
to work successfully in IE.  It seems IE didn't like the namespace
declarations in the XSL stylesheet and the XML file.  Once removed
things started to work.

http://cees.crtconsulting.ca/perl/examples/uploadmeter/

I still haven't abstracted it into an easy to use module yet, but that
is next (along with support for other browsers)

Cheers,

Cees
