Progressbar

Display status of a determinate or indeterminate process.

The progress bar is designed to display the current percent complete for a process. The bar is coded to be flexibly sized through CSS and will scale to fit inside its parent container by default.

A determinate progress bar should only be used in situations where the system can accurately update the current status. A determinate progress bar should never fill from left to right, then loop back to empty for a single process รข if the actual status cannot be calculated, an indeterminate progress bar should be used to provide user feedback.

Theming

The progressbar widget uses the jQuery UI CSS framework to style its look and feel. If progressbar specific styling is needed, the following CSS class names can be used:

  • ui-progressbar: The outer container of the progressbar. This element will additionally have a class of ui-progressbar-indeterminate for indeterminate progressbars.
    • ui-progressbar-value: The element that represents the filled portion of the progressbar.
      • ui-progressbar-overlay: Overlay used to display an animation for indeterminate progressbars.

Dependencies

  • This widget requires some functional CSS, otherwise it won't work. If you build a custom theme, use the widget's specific CSS file as a starting point.
disabled
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Disables the progressbar if set to true.

Code examples:

Initialize the progressbar with the disabled option specified:

$( ".selector" ).progressbar({
  disabled: true
});

Get or set the disabled option, after initialization:

// Getter
var disabled = $( ".selector" ).progressbar( "option", "disabled" );
 
// Setter
$( ".selector" ).progressbar( "option", "disabled", true );
max
Type: Number
Default: 100
The maximum value of the progressbar.

Code examples:

Initialize the progressbar with the max option specified:

$( ".selector" ).progressbar({
  max: 1024
});

Get or set the max option, after initialization:

// Getter
var max = $( ".selector" ).progressbar( "option", "max" );
 
// Setter
$( ".selector" ).progressbar( "option", "max", 1024 );
value
Type: Number or Boolean
Default: 0
The value of the progressbar.

Multiple types supported:

  • Number: A value between 0 and the max.
  • Boolean: Value can be set to false to create an indeterminate progressbar.

Code examples:

Initialize the progressbar with the value option specified:

$( ".selector" ).progressbar({
  value: 25
});

Get or set the value option, after initialization:

// Getter
var value = $( ".selector" ).progressbar( "option", "value" );
 
// Setter
$( ".selector" ).progressbar( "option", "value", 25 );

Invoke the instance method:

$( ".selector" ).progressbar( "instance" );
option( optionName )Returns: Object

Gets the value currently associated with the specified optionName.
