Using the Dom features of javascript and traversing the whole document object is quite cubersome and error prone .so i want to replace them using well tested libraries that are cross browser compatible. Emualiting onprogress in XMLHttpRequest : Jquery and Yui provide only statuses success and error .Even Mootools provide progress but are constrained to some browers only.It can be handled by using $.ajax Transport utility . I will also take care progressive enhancement,by carefully implementing the basic functionality of the gitweb so that what ever may be the browser version and type , internet connection the basic functionality will not disrupted . yours sincerely, chaitanya nalla. India.
