We have a set of HTML files that serve as help to an application. When
the user requests help, we start the default browser with the
appropriate HTML file.
Some of our HTML files will link to PDF and video files. The rub is
that those files may or may not be present on the local hard drive.
What we would like to do is: if the file is present on the hard drive,
load it from there. If not present, load it from the web. We would
like the process of checking the disk and using the alternate web
location to be transparent to the user.
Is there any way to do this with HTML? If not, what other tools might
we use to accomplish this?
Thanks.
