Checking the existence of a document

[Vel Straty]

Is there a way to check if an html document exists?

I know that it can be done for a IMG tag with an onerror way and I tried to do it with an IFRAME tag with a onerror way but didin't work out.

Maybe a simple dos batch command of IF EXIST something like that would be nice but the script is only for client-side and thus needs to use only javascript and phps.

Why not use the PHP is_file('my_page.html') function?

You can find more information at PHP.net

I would have suggested file_exists, but since it's only for files, the is_file should suffice.

var xmlhttp;

function loadXMLDoc(url) {
	/* Mozilla */
	if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=state_Change
  xmlhttp.open("HEAD",url,true);
  xmlhttp.send(null);
	} else 
	/* IE */
	if (window.ActiveXObject) {
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  if (xmlhttp) {
 	 xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=state_Change
 	 xmlhttp.open("HEAD",url,true);
 	 xmlhttp.send();
  }
	}
}

function state_Change() {
// if xmlhttp shows "loaded"
	if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) {
  if (xmlhttp.status==200) {
 	 document.location.href="toc.html";
 	 // document.getElementById('T1').innerHTML=xmlhttp.getAllResponseHeaders()
 	 } else {
 	 //	document.location.href="toc.html";
  }
	}
}
loadXMLDoc('toc.html');

Thanx for suggestions ppl!

But I found out the way by using javascript XML or whatever its called when I searched for many hours!
