hi Experts I have the following code on my gridview in an aspx page

I have binded the gridview to a sql datasource and when the user clicks the hyperlink field in the gridview a document would open if its a valid url .If it is a invalid url the error message would pop up saying
"Cannot find file: url ,Make sure the path or internet address is correct."

My Requirement is to amend the error message to a custom error message by using some script or any way possible.

Please Suggest .

Thank you

Accepted answer
use the onclick event of hyperlink and call a java script method (window.open) which will open an .aspx page having the logic to check the file exists or not. remember to pass the file name to .aspx page.
