Attributes

This element includes the global attributes.

max: This attribute describes how much work the task indicated by the progress element requires. The max attribute, if present, must have a value greater than zero and be a valid floating point number. The default value is 1.
value: This attribute specifies how much of the task that has been completed. It must be a valid floating point number between 0 and max, or between 0 and 1 if max is omitted. If there is no value attribute, the progress bar is indeterminate; this indicates that an activity is ongoing with no indication of how long it is expected to take.

NOTE: The minimum value is always 0 and the min attribute is not allowed for the progress element. You can use the -moz-orient CSS property to specify whether the progress bar should be rendered horizontally (the default) or vertically.

NOTE: The :indeterminate pseudo-class can be used to match against indeterminate progress bars. To change the progress bar to indeterminate after giving it a value you must remove the value attribute with element.removeAttribute("value")

Examples

<progress value="70" max="100">70 %</progress>

Result

On Windows 7, the resulting progress looks like this:
