File Input Times Out

[Steve Lloyd]

Hi, I dont know if this should be in a html newsgroup or this one, so
apologies if it mislocated...

I have a page that uses a <input type=file ..> then uploads an image to the
server, then I resize the image to the size required by the web page.

The problem is that if ppl upload a big image/slow connection the page sits
there apparently doing nothing and then display a 404.

Does anyone know of/have a slick way of putting up some sort of an
"Uploading..." box and preventing the page from timing out.

Thanks very much for your help.

One approach is to extend the browser timeout directive in the config file.
