Is there a way in JavaScript to test if a webpage exists, for example
before redirecting a browser window to that page?
What I am trying to do is customize an acknowledgement page for
particular users depending upon choices they make when completing a
form.

You can try to load it with AJAX.

I don't understand what this has to do with the question.

Basically, I wanted to test if the customized page existed before
redirecting the user to that page.

Why wouldn't it exist? Is it maintained by somebody else?

It should exist, but just in case the page/file had been deleted (for
an old customer) I wanted to be sure.

If you have access to serverside scripting,
make a dedicated 404.asp [or the php equivalent] file
that reports to you where a file does not exist
and the referrer page is from your own domain.
That some browsers do not give a correct referrer,
is not that important, you'll just miss a few.

Hi Folks,
I have run into a bit of an issue with checking for files.
Some files reside on Server X and some on Server Y.
The page with all the links is on Server X. If the file exists we display a
link, if it does not then we display "sorry not yet available".
For the files on server X it is no problem I use an FSO and don't have a
problem. For files on server Y I am having a big problem.

Question - How can I write a If statement to see if a control (textbox)
actually exists on a page? Upon page_load, a certain control may or may not
be visible on the page so I need to first check to see if it actually exists
and then if it does, get the value from it. If I try to read it or check if
its "visible" if it's not on the page then of course, it'll error.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am new to PHP so I have done a research on how to check if an entry
exists on the table. I came up with the following code:
include("dbinfo.inc.php");
$Name=$_POST;
$Code=$_POST;
mysql_connect($host,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

Hi,
I'm checking if a file exists with the following code;
If System.IO.File.Exists("C:\test.txt") = True Then
MsgBox("File Exists")
Else
MsgBox("File Does Not Exist")
End If
For some reason it always returns false even though the file does exist. Any suggestions? Could this be a security issue?

I'm trying to determine if a file physically exists regardless of the
permissions on it
Using File.Exists() returns false if it physically exists but the
process does not have the necessary permissions.
One hack could be to check for length and that would throw a
FileNotFoundException ...but there is got to be a better way!

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
