test if webpage exist

@vandecanSep 06.2005

Hello,
Building a multilingual website, it could appears that some pages are not yet translated.
Therefore I would like to inform the visitors of the available pages.
IF there a way to test if a page is present on the website ?

! Javascript on html pages no php or ….

Many thanks for your help.

Francois.

sorry i didn't see the "no php" in the first post! :o

CORRECT? but this is not what I intend to do because it's not user friendly. What i would like to do is to propose other languages (the ones available) to the visitors.

Is there any chance to have someone helping me with code to test if a page exist or not on the website ?

Thanks.

Francois

function findFile(path){
 var http;
 http = (h=window.XMLHttpRequest)?new h():((h=window.ActiveXObject)?new h("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"):0);
 if (!http) {
 // do something for browsers that do not support xmlHTTP
 return false;
 }
 http.open("HEAD", path, true);
 http.onreadystatechange=function() {
 if (http.readyState==4) {
 if (http.status==200) window.location.href=path;
 else alert("URL doesn't exist!");
 }
 }
 http.send(null);
 }
