[jQuery] Re: Check if remote file exists.
I think if you use the $.ajax method, you can implement the built in failure method and go from there. andy -Original Message- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Genu Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 12:54 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Check if remote file exists.

What you want is a HEAD request.

That's pretty interesting -- I never thought of that.
So I imagine an $.ajax({url:'somefile.dat',type:'HEAD',error:do_something})
would be enough to check for a 404.
Nifty.
