I'm currently using the Ajax Blueprints 0.1.1 ProgressBar component.
This is the only component of this component library that I am using and
would like to move over to the new ProgressBar component and eliminate
this library.
Basically what I am doing with this component is that I have web pages
that have long running processing when submitted. These are actually
talking to network equipment via the SNMP protocol and this may take a
while to process. So instead of having the user sit and look at a
screen that looks like it is stuck, I submit the work for asynchronous
processing and return the page response. In the page response, I render
a ProgressBar to monitor the progress of the work. Basically this uses
Ajax to talk to the server to see if the work is done, and if so, the
ProgressBar component then refreshes the page, were the results of the
work are picked up and displayed. I'm not going whole hog wild right
now with Ajax to limit my problems so for now, I just need to refresh
the page when the ProgressBar is informed that it is complete.
Looking over the new ProgressBar, I'm having some trouble figuring out
how to do the same thing.
* With the old, I had to set the "auto-start" property on the
ProgressBar so that it would start polling for percentage complete
when it was rendered. How is this done with the new ProgressBar
or is it "auto-start" by default?
* With the old, I was able to invoke a javascript function on
completion. I don't see the same tag now. Basically I need to
refresh the page when the percentage complete becomes 100. With
the old, my javascript submitted the page by performing a "click"
on a Refresh button on the page. How do I accomplish the same
thing now?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
