Progressbar Widgetversion added: 1.6

Description: Display status of a determinate or indeterminate process.

QuickNavExamples

Options

disabled
max
value

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 — if the actual status cannot be calculated, an indeterminate progress bar should be used to provide user feedback.

Additional Notes:

  • 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.

Options

disabledType: 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 );

maxType: 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 );

valueType: 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 );
