I have a technical question... Not about tidy

[Ranney, Jeffrey]

I have scoured the web and cannot find out how to do what I want to do… I am hoping someone can help me with your group.

I have written a small web page which runs from my hard-drive.
It allows me to put in several(6) websites which I want to check if they exist.
If the web site exists, I want it to open.
If it doesn't exist, I do not want it to open.

It is running Java Script to do the opens and currently it simply opens all 6.. Those pages which get an ERROR, I just manually close.

The W3.ORG Validator does this kind of thing against one web page and it simply replies that the web page does not exist.

The code I have is as follows (on the 5th dataset) :

        if (fnam05 != '')
        {
          thedsn = theurl+fnam05+"("+mnam+")'";
          window.open(thedsn);
        }

Is there a way to do what I want in Java Script?

Can you just trap it with an exception?
