Usage:

some html:
     <form id="upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="index.html" method="post">
        <input name="file" type="file"/>
        <input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
      </form>
    
      <div id="uploading">
        <div id="progress" class="bar">
          <div id="progressbar">&nbsp;</div>
          <div id="percents"></div>
        </div>
      </div>

then some css:
  
  .bar {
    width: 300px;
  }
  
  #progress {
    background: #eee;
    border: 1px solid #222;
    margin-top: 20px;
  }
  #progressbar {
    width: 0px;
    height: 24px;
    background: #333;
  }

and a bit of javascript:

$(function() {
    $('form').uploadProgress({
    /* scripts locations for safari */
    jqueryPath: "../lib/jquery.js",
    uploadProgressPath: "../jquery.uploadProgress.js",
    /* function called each time bar is updated */
    uploading: function(upload) {$('#percents').html(upload.percents+'%');},
    /* selector or element that will be updated */
    progressBar: "#progressbar",
    /* progress reports url */
    progressUrl: "/progress",
    /* how often will bar be updated */
    interval: 2000
    });
});

If you need to update the progress bar from a different domain or subdomain, liek if your upload server is different 
from your normal web server, you can try the JSON-P protocol, like this:
$(function() {
    $('form').uploadProgress({
    /* scripts locations for safari */
    jqueryPath: "../lib/jquery.js",
    uploadProgressPath: "../jquery.uploadProgress.js",
    /* function called each time bar is updated */
    uploading: function(upload) {$('#percents').html(upload.percents+'%');},
    /* selector or element that will be updated */
    progressBar: "#progressbar",
    /* progress reports url in a different domain or subdomain from caller */
    progressUrl: "uploads.somewhere.com/progress",
    /* how often will bar be updated */
    interval: 2000,
    /* use json-p for cross-domain call */
    dataType: 'jsonp'
    });
});

defaults:

interval: 2000
progressBar: "#progressbar"
progressUrl: "/progress"
start: function() {}
uploading: function() {}
complete: function() {}
success: function() {}
error: function() {}
uploadProgressPath: '/javascripts/jquery.js'
jqueryPath: '/javascripts/jquery.uploadProgress.js'
dataType: 'json'
