Checking if a document exists

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 14.2004

I have a CBT that uses a javascript function to move forward or back through html pages with a numbering scheme; for example, 1.html, 2.html, 3.html….. How do I check to see if the html document exists before I try to display it?

<HTML>

<Head>

<Script Language=VBScript>

function checkExist()

set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists("ABC.txt") Then
MsgBox "There is an ABC.txt on the desktop..."
'you can put the name of a JS function here
Exit Function
End If
MsgBox "There is no ABC.txt on the desktop..."
'you can put the name of a JS function here

End Function

checkExist()

</Script>

</Head>

<Body>

<br><br>

<center>

<h4>Content of the page </h4>

</center>

</Body>

</HTML>

Success!
