Does anyone know of a way to check if a html file exists in a different
domain so that you can know in advance whether going there would result
in a 404? I believe Ajax would allow that in the same domain, but
wouldn't in a different domain. The page I might go to is totally out of
my control, so I can't do anything that side. I'm expecting this won't
be possible, but figured I'd ask.

No. Not on an internet site anyway. I could dream up a way to do it
running locally though.

Thanks, figured as much.

If it's a page on a server you control, you could have a link-checking
process on the server which checked your pages and disabled broken links.
That's entirely on the server side.
If it's on a client you control, you could write a Greasemonkey script
to check links on each page as it is loaded. But the overhead would be
high.
What are you trying to do?

this can be accoplished with Ajax, PHP, & Curl. Curl is an extention
for php. With it you can retieve alot a information on a site/page
including the status.
Hope that helps!

I was asked if I could provide some JavaScript that could check whether
a regular link to a different site would result in a 404. I said that I
was 99% sure it couldn't be done but I'd ask around. ad******@gmail. com wrote:

I'm working on this script that grabs a web page from a foreign site, searches it for specific information, and grabs web pages from links on the original page. Once I had it working, I tried it out on the foreign site. However, the information I got back was nonsensical. I'm guessing the code I get back from the web page is written in that foreign language, but when I -> of the same page, it looks like normal html code.

Hi All.
Is there a way in Javascript to retrieve the HTML text from a webpage,
without actually opening the web page? For example, specify a web page
(it's actually the reply to an HTTP GET), and load the HTML from the
page into a string variable.
I want to parse out certain data from the source page, and display it on
another web page. I've done this in VB, but am new to Java.
