I'm trying to appropriately handle a HTTP status error (404, 501, etc) that might be returned by any AJAX call in jQuery (I'm using version 1.6.4) however for the life of me I can't get out the appropriate response code (all values are '0' or 'error' and nothing more specific).
UPDATE: created a JSFIDDLE here
UPDATE: added statusCode: { *** }
as per 3nigma's suggestion BUT which does not fire
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doAjax()
{
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://www.non-existant-url.com/",
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
alert("Success");
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log("xhr.status: " + xhr.status);
console.log("xhr.statusText: " + xhr.statusText);
console.log("xhr.readyState: " + xhr.readyState);
console.log("xhr.responseText: " + xhr.responseText);
console.log("xhr.responseXML: " + xhr.responseXML);
console.log("textStatus: " + textStatus);
console.log("errorThrown: " + errorThrown);
console.log("xhr.redirect: " + xhr.redirect);
},
statusCode: {
404: function () { console.log("404"); },
501: function () { console.log("501"); },
502: function () { console.log("502"); }
}
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body><button onclick="doAjax();">Do AJAX</button></body>
</html>
The output I get is as follows:
FYI I've studied the documentation at...
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ (the "error(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)" section) http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jqXHR
but the jqXHR doesn't seem to be populating properly. I must be doing something wrong and I've run out of ideas now so I would really appreciate some help. Thanks!
try using
statusCode
added in jquery 1.5I'm a numpty, ajax doesn't work cross-domain for security reasons. If I change the url so that its targetting the same domain as the host then the status codes and text etc is miraculously populated.
I've added another JSFIDDLE example to demonstrate this here.
