The imProgessBar has 2 display options (inline, and popup).
When setting a display of inline, you must add an insert_type option. The values for insert_type are:
$('#mapInfo').imProgressBar({
progress_bar: {'container': 'progBarCntnr', 'bar_back_class' : 'progBorder', 'bar_class': 'progBar'},
display: {'type': 'inline', 'insert_type': 'prepend'},
animate_duration: 1500
});
In this example, I set up the imProgressBar plugin to prepend the progress bar container to th parent element ('#mapInfo').
I also set the animation_duration to 1500 (miliseconds), so that the bar width will increase every 1.5 seconds. The default for this option is 100 (.1 secs).
