Re: checking for a file

To further the education of mankind, Eric <nospam@xxxxxxxxx> vouchsafed:

Is it possible to check for existence of a file from a web page using
javascript? I am trying to come up with a routine that i can call from
the rest of my javascript code that will check if a particular file
exists on disk at the server. ie bool
FileExists("http://myServer.com/File.gif";); Any ideas on how to do
this? Thanks

It could sorta be done with a timing loop and a size check, but how
appropriate this is I don't know.
