[Release - Gamma] Psuedo-progress bar for uploading attachments

Firstly I would like to apologize to Kier for ripping the progress.gif file off his site...but I searched and searched and searched and could find NOTHING to use for it, so there it is. Make your own if you can.

Anyway this is a pseudo-progress bar for when you are uploading attachments, to show that something is happening.

Real easy, edit one template then upload the attached gif file and it works a treat.

In the newattachment template, right above </head>, place this code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function render(t) {
	document.getElementById(t).style.display="";
}
</script>

Next find

					<td align="$stylevar[right]"><input type="submit" class="button" name="upload" value="$vbphrase[upload]" style="width:70px" /></td>

and replace it with

					<td align="$stylevar[right]"><input type="submit" class="button" name="upload" value="$vbphrase[upload]" style="width:70px" onClick="render('progress')" /></td>

Finally, look down a few lines and find

				</table>
			</fieldset>

and replace it with

				</table>
				<div align="center" style="display:none;" id="progress"><img src="progress.gif" border="0"></div>
			</fieldset>

Save and you're done. This should work in IE5+, Mozilla, Firebird, Netscape 7, and most other modern browsers, though I have only tried it in IE and Firebird.

Edit: Instructions are now also in an attached text file, the progress.gif file you need is also attached.
