Check if a file exists locally using JavaScript only

Question

I want to check if a file exists locally, where the HTML file is located. It has to be JavaScript. JavaScript will never be disabled. jQuery is not good but can do.

Answer 1

Try this:

window.onclick=(function(){
  try {
    var file = window.open("file://mnt/sdcard/download/Click.ogg");
    setTimeout('file.close()', 100);
    setTimeout("alert('Audio file found. Have a nice day!');", 101);
  } catch(err) {
    var wantstodl=confirm("Warning:\n the file, Click.ogg is not found.\n do you want to download it?\n "+err.message);
    if (wantstodl) {
      window.open("https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs9v6g2vru32xoe/Click.ogg?dl=1"); //downloads the audio file
    }
  }
});
