How do I check if file exists in jQuery or pure JavaScript?

Question

How do I check if a file on my server exists in jQuery or pure JavaScript?

Answer 1

I was getting a cross domain permissions issue when trying to run the answer to this question so I went with:

function UrlExists(url) {
$('').load(function() {
    return true;
}).bind('error', function() {
    return false;
});
}

It seems to work great, hope this helps someone!
