title: Check if File Exists on different Server
body: <p>I need to see if a file exist on another server. So if I called <a href="http://www.someotherserver.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.someotherserver.com/index.html</a> if the page is there it returns true and if not it returns false. I gave this a try: </p>
  
  <pre><code>    $.ajax({
          type: 'HEAD',
          url: 'http://localhost/HTMLPage1.htm',
          success: function () {
          },
          error: function () {
              alert("Unable to connect to secure checkout.");
              return false;
          }
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it returns an error every time. I was thinking maybe because of cross-domain scripting.  Does anyone know how to make this work or have a method that does work?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
