Coldfusion File upload progress bar

Is it possible to have a progress bar from a file that I'm uploadgin without using flash form?
All the sample that I see around they use flash.

To clarify, what we're talking about is more of a "processing" indicator than a progress bar.  Its a way to let the user know something is happening.  But its not a real progress bar which would show the actual percentage of the upload completed.  That said, a simple message/image or hidden div might be sufficient in your case. And as gdemaria said its simple to implement.

Thanks guys...

I guess I will use the hidden div, I don't want to get too crazy about it... I just want to show my users that they are uploading their files.

Then go with gdemaria's suggestion.  I'm sure they'll be happy to post an example.
I have used the CF_Upload tag from Adiabata:
http://www.adiabata.com/Demos/Upload_demo.cfm (try the demo at the bottom)

It takes a couple steps to implement but is well documented and creates a very clean solution.  The price is very reasonable as well.

I would recommend this solution (for what its worth) - as it is the closest (non-Flash) to real progress meter as I have found for developing web applications.
