The XMLHttpRequestUpload interface represents the upload process for a specific XMLHttpRequest. It is an opaque object that represents the underlying, browser-dependent, upload process. It is an XMLHttpRequestEventTarget and can be obtained by calling XMLHttpRequest.upload.
This interface has no specific property, but inherits the properties of XMLHttpRequestEventTarget and of EventTarget.
This interface has no specific method, but inherits the methods of XMLHttpRequestEventTarget and of EventTarget.
abort
Fired when a request has been aborted, for example because the program called XMLHttpRequest.abort(). Also available via the onabort event handler property.
error
Fired when the request encountered an error. Also available via the onerror event handler property.
load
Fired when a request transaction completes successfully. Also available via the onload event handler property.
loadend
Fired when a request has completed, whether successfully (after load) or unsuccessfully (after abort or error). Also available via the onloadend event handler property.
loadstart
Fired when a request has started to load data. Also available via the onloadstart event handler property.
progress
Fired periodically when a request receives more data. Also available via the onprogress event handler property.
timeout
Fired when progress is terminated due to preset time expiring. Also available via the ontimeout event handler property.
This allows you to upload a file to a server; it displays a progress bar while the upload is happening as well as a message with the progress and the results, success or failure. An abort button allows to stop an upload.
