[jQuery] Check if remote file exists.

[Genu]

Is it possible to use jquery to check of remote file (url) exists or
not. For example, I have this url:

http://www.myserver.com/media/test.mp3

can I use a jquery http request to see if the url is valid or not?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I tried the above function, and now the
link just doesn't do anything when I click on it. I don't understand
where you got '.dialogBox' from, however.

Ok here is my problem:

I have a link:

http://www.myserver.com/01-01-08-PM.mp3"; class="download"
id="7">Download

I wrote this js:


var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(document).ready(function() {
$j('.download').click(function() {
var link = $j(this).attr('href');

});
});


The idea, is that I want the script to fetch the url (href), and
return it in the form of a download dialog. The problem that I am
facing, is that when people click "Download", it just opens up the
file directly with the associated player. Can Jquery overcome this
issue if it does an httprequest in the bacgkground to fetch the file?

please let me know what my options are.

Ok here is my problem. I generate this link with PHP:
http://www.myServer.com/2008/01-01-08-
PM.mp3">Download

then I have this js:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(document).ready(function() {
$j('.download').click(function() {
var link = $j(this).attr('href');

});
});


Basically, I'm trying to have the download link show the download
dialog in order to download that MP3 file, instead of opening it
automatically with the associated player. Is it possible to use jquery
to request the file with an ajax request?
