<DIV><SPAN class=515415220-07022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm in need of a
good cross platform solution for file upload with progress indication. The usual
problem is that php does not have, unless involving a cgi script, the
capacity to know the exact state of the upload. So instead of using cgi, my
idea is to use a flash file.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=515415220-07022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>So i've made a flash
/ php script that does that. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=515415220-07022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, i would like to
make it reusable, hence the idea to go towards a jquery plugin that could
provide a more usable interface for file uploading via web page in a non
obtrusive way.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the development, i would like to hear from you what would be the core features
of such plugin so that you would find it useful in your own
work.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
