Ajax Php File upload with Progress Bar
In this programming lesson you can learn to use HTML5 + JavaScript + PHP to render an elegant file upload progress bar in your file upload forms. It is desirable to render a file upload progress bar when users upload files to your server, much like the way YouTube renders a file upload progress bar every time we upload a video to their network. The new HTML5 progress element has been made specifically for developers to use in scenarios such as this, it automatically matches the specific browser software visually, but you can customize your loading bar graphics for branding or consistency in all the different browsers. Due to the fact that we are using a new HTML5 element, this application may not work as intended in old versions of browser software. Use a modern popular browser software when experimenting with this code.

_("loaded_n_total").innerHTML = "Uploaded "+event.loaded+" bytes of "+event.total;
var percent = (event.loaded / event.total) * 100;
_("progressBar").value = Math.round(percent);
_("status").innerHTML = Math.round(percent)+"% uploaded... please wait";
}
function completeHandler(event){
_("status").innerHTML = event.target.responseText;
_("progressBar").value = 0;
}

_("status").innerHTML = "Upload Failed";
}
function abortHandler(event){
