How to hide broken links?

[Chris Hemingway]

Hi
I have an html file which links to word docs amongst other things; but
these files and their location may change periodically.
How can I adapt my html so that if the files do not exist, the links
are hidden i.e. how do I hide broken links?

This is not really a job for client-side technology. Much better to use a
server-side technology to retrieve a list of available files and generate
the required links.

You might be able to use the applet at <url:
http://www.galasoft-lb.ch/myjava/WebLoadFile/Demo/Demo.html /> but it
requires that the files are served from the same domain as the page
loading the applet.
