HTML includes a <progress> element. See this MDN page for details and a usage example.

Also, this segment of Episode 129 of "The Treehouse Show" has an example of creating progress bars using a Google code library.

Updating progress will require some kind of asynchronous code, possibly using a ProgressEvent handler.

Hi jason limmm 👋

There's a special tag for progress bars you could use for this purpose 🙂 From there you most likely want have add some JavaScript to your project to make the value dynamic.

Hope this helps!
