How to check, is file exist on current site?
Like:
if ('http://site.com/girlfirend.png' exist) {
// do something
}
Maybe I can use .get? But how to check its status (ok or 404)?
Thanks.

Issue a get request to the file and inspect the result.
See Ajax in jquery

You can do such a request with ajax, and specify you only want the HEAD (in order to check the response code).

@greg0ire, quoth jQuery docs: "The type of request to make ("POST" or "GET"), default is "GET". Note: Other HTTP request methods, such as PUT and DELETE, can also be used here, but they are not supported by all browsers."
