+++ title = "Progress Bar" template = "demo.html" +++ This example shows how to implement a smoothly scrolling progress bar. We start with an initial state with a button that issues a `POST` to `/start` to begin the job: ```html

Start Progress

``` This div is then replaced with a new div containing status and a progress bar that reloads itself every 600ms: ```html

Running

``` This progress bar is updated every 600 milliseconds, with the "width" style attribute and `aria-valuenow` attributed set to current progress value. Because there is an id on the progress bar div, htmx will smoothly transition between requests by settling the style attribute into its new value. This, when coupled with CSS transitions, makes the visual transition continuous rather than jumpy. Finally, when the process is complete, a server returns `HX-Trigger: done` header, which triggers an update of the UI to "Complete" state with a restart button added to the UI (we are using the [`class-tools`](@/extensions/class-tools.md) extension in this example to add fade-in effect on the button): ```html

Complete

``` This example uses styling cribbed from the bootstrap progress bar: ```css .progress { height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; overflow: hidden; background-color: #f5f5f5; border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.1); } .progress-bar { float: left; width: 0%; height: 100%; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; color: #fff; text-align: center; background-color: #337ab7; -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.15); box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.15); -webkit-transition: width .6s ease; -o-transition: width .6s ease; transition: width .6s ease; } ``` {{ demoenv() }}
