Progress bars


Progress bars are a metaphor used with traditional desktop as well as web development to provide visual feedback to a user on the progress of a task or action. Bootstrap provides a number of differently styled progress bars.

The basic progress bar

The basic Bootstrap progress bar displays a plain blue-colored progress bar. Adding a <span> element with a class name of sr-only is good practice in order to allow screen readers to read the progress percentage. The following markup generates a basic progress bar with a heading:

<h4>Basic Progressbar</h4>
<div class="progress">
    <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="80" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 80%;">
        <span class="sr-only">80% Complete</span>
    </div>
</div>

The result of this markup is shown in the following screenshot:

You can also display an inline label for the progress bar by adding text inside its <div> element...
