Hello, I have been reviewing the Web Forms 2.0 specification and really like the many advancements it outlines. There is, however, one area in which it appears to overlook: file upload status. As a web developer I believe it would be very helpful to have some way to indicate the progress of file uploads. There is really only one key addition for this to be possible: a filesize attribute that is set when a user has selected a file. This would simply indicate the total size in bytes of the selected file. It would need to be DOM-accessible (e.g. myform.myfile.filesize). Many users get anxious and think there browser has hung because the is not a clear indication that an upload is in progress. Perhaps eventually we would have UAs that would have UI alerts that indicated form file upload progress via a progress bar, etc. Regards, Dwight Brown
