Janet,
I don't think there is an HTML/JavaScript way to determine if a file
download was successful. I would recommend revisiting this requirement as
it seems pointless, a successful download tells you nothing; what you would
ideally be interested in is the action taken (i.e. where was it saved, was
it run, was it opened, etc.). Failing that, Joel's suggestion of using an
applet is the way to go.
