7.2.6 Range gadgets

7.2.6.4 Progress bars

The <progress-bar> class is used to display a dialog that provides a gauge illustrating the progress of a particular task. Possible uses for progress bars include the progress of an installation procedure, downloading e-mail messages from a mail server, performing a file backup, and compiling one or more files of source code. Any situation in which the user may have to wait for a task to complete is a good candidate for a progress bar.
