I'm trying to make a percentage progress bar for an XMMS web interface,
I want to take the total track time and the elapsed time and then make
a length for the bar from the percentage completed.

something like:

totalbarsize = 180
timeelapsed = 10
totaltime = 30

percomplete = 0.0
barlength = 0.0

percomplete = timeelapsed / totaltime
barlength =  totalbarsize*percomplete

puts barlength

Now that should give me a barlength of 60 pixels but it gives 0
instead. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

(I'll forget that I need barlength as an integer rather than a float
for now :-P)
