How to display completion progress of a task in HTML5?
If we want to serve a visual demonstration of completion of any task or goal, we use <progress> element. To display how much progress has been towards task completion we use max and value attributes. Following is the syntax of <progress> tag in HTML -
<progress value=”20” max=”100”></progress>
Progress has open and closing tags. It is a new semantic element in HTML5. For displaying a file is being uploaded also this progress bar is used.
The HTML <progress> tag supports the following attributes −
Attribute |
Value |
Description |
---|---|---|
max |
Max |
It should have a value greater than zero and a valid floating-point number. |
value |
value |
Specifies how much of the task has been completed. It should be a floating-point number between 0 and max or 0 and 1 if max is omitted. |
It also supports the global and event attributes.
Example
Following example demonstrates how to display completion progress of a task in HTML −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1>Progress element in HTML</h1> <label for="file">File Copying Progress:</label> <progress id="file" value="45" max="100"> 45% </progress> </body> </html>

CSS Styling the Progress bar
