You'll need to use some kind of Flash uploader, as this is the only way to get progress notifications from JavaScript. There's a good library for this called SWFUpload for which there is a jQuery wrapper here .
You will need to use something that has the capability of assessing how much of a file has been uploaded already - the flash solution is a possibility but perl is also capable.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
