What is HTML_Progress ?

HTML_Progress is a OO class PEAR package for PHP 4.1 or better.

HTML_Progress makes it easy to build and display an horizontal or vertical loading bar on XHTML document of your choice, and allows user to wait and see progress status during a long procedure such an installation. You get a more or less decent result with just the basic settings, but it's also highly configurable, so you can almost get what you want.

The core class assigns context sensitive default values for most of the parameters which minimizes the learning part. The features are there when you need it - they don't get in your way. The package also comes with very extensive documentation.
