Provide up-to-date feedback on the progress of a workflow or action with simple yet flexible progress bars.

Cross-browser compatibility

Progress bars use CSS3 transitions and animations to achieve some of their effects. These features are not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and below or older versions of Firefox. Opera 12 does not support animations.

Basic example

Default progress bar.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}

With label

Remove the .sr-only class from within the progress bar to show a visible percentage. For low percentages, consider adding a min-width to ensure the label's text is fully visible.

60%

{% highlight html %}

60%

{% endhighlight %}

Low percentages

Progress bars representing low single digit percentages, as well as 0%, include a min-width: 20px; for legibility.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}

Contextual alternatives

Progress bars use some of the same button and alert classes for consistent styles.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}

Striped

Uses a gradient to create a striped effect. Not available in IE8.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}

Animated

Add .active to .progress-bar-striped to animate the stripes right to left. Not available in IE9 and below.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}

Stacked

Place multiple bars into the same .progress to stack them.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}
