Have file uploading in background while continuing Navigation
-
I have an ordering site with a requirement where I need to allow a user to upload a file and while that file is uploading, allow them to continue on in the page flow. On each page, I wish to be able to check on the status of the file uploading and provide feedback to the user on the status of the upload, such as a progress bar. I'm looking for ideas on how to begin a file upload and then allow for page navigation without ending the upload. ASP.Net / AJAX are good to use, but not Silverlight

Interesting problem. The first thing that comes to mind is to use an iframe for the navigation so the file upload is taking place in one page while other pages are displayed in the iframe.

Not a bad idea in general, but unfortunately won't work for my purposes. We cannot place the main page content into an iframe for navigation, it could create a lot of problems for us. Any other ideas?

As I'm sure you know the difficulty is keeping the uplaod active while navigating to another page. The thing the pops to mind (pun intended :-D ) is a popup window to handle the upload, however that could be blocked by browser settings, etc. Although its just a variation on the the same idea you could use ajax calls to refresh the content.
