check if image exists

Hi there,

I'm building an orderlist with articles from differerent suppliers in a SQL db. Together with the article information the administrator can store the address of an image. These images are stored on the servers of the suppliers of the articles.

It's tricky to store images outside your website, i know that. Therefor I want to build some kind of function that checks if the image exists on the server of the supplier. I've tried it with the onError handler, but this only works in Explorer 6.

Does anyone know a different trick or even how to solve this problem.

Many thanx in advance,
Erik

you could try the try catch block...

try {
thing to try
}
catch (e) {
if error happened in the try, catch the error and do stuff with it here
e is the error handler
}

erikspinhoven will have to be very patient user to wait for his answer since Dec 2003! I know it often happens that your thread never get an answered, but it's 'hats off' to colton22 for finding all those unanswered posts from way back when! I think I'll check if you've found my unanswered post from 2 years ago when I asked could I have the complete code for a money making website! I know better today not to ask such questions.
