I have a multi-step form where the form on Step3 submits to Step4.php. Step4 is a results page, and it takes some time to load, so I wanted to try and implement a progress bar or a loading bar or something when the user clicks the step3 submit button before Step4.php actually loads. I would think I could do this with jquery? But, I’m not sure how. Is it possible to do this without having to use jquery to post the data to step4.php?
It is very hard to do progress bars for ajax requests. You don’t really have access to the request in a way to give the user accurate information with a progress bar. You are better off giving your users a spinner showing them that the script is working on loading things.
