mintu, welcome to the Ranch.
1) The HTML/Javascript forum is
here.
2) One of the bartenders will soon ask you to change your name to conform to ranch policy; why not be a good cowpoke and beat them to the punch?
3) You can refresh the page on the second using a meta tag -- but I'm not sure that's the right thing to do.
4) I'm not sure I know what you mean when you say 'read from javascript'
5) Progress bars have been discussed many time in these forums. Use the search mechanism and you may find the answers you seek.
hth,
bear
