Tips for Twits

I really liked the mootools progressbar at http://www.webappers.com/progressBar/ but i’m so against the idea of having 2-3 libraries in a single system. Since i always use jQuery, i tried to port the progressBar over. The problem is, jQuery unlike most of the other libraries doesnt quite work with objects. So its not that easy to return and manage an object to perform actions like “add 5%”, “fill to 95%”, etc. Honestly i’m not sure where else to use such a comprehensive progress bar other than a file upload utility.

So for what its worth, i made a simple progress bar in jQuery that parses a percentage string and animates the loading.
