Question

I have the following code:

<script type='text/javascript'>     $(document).ready(function() {          $('#Save').click(function() {              $.post('url', {                 'data': 'data'             }, function(data) {                 alert(data);             });          });      }); </script> 

I’m testing this script, and one of the tests I’m making is, I just close the asp.net web development server, and click the button.

IE says ‘access denied’ error, I want to catch any error that occurs here, and display a friendly message to the user in this case.

I trying to use try/catch but didn’t work…

Any clue?

Use the $.ajax() method instead. It has a hook for errors.

For example:

$.ajax({     url: 'document.xml',     type: 'GET',     dataType: 'xml',     timeout: 1000,     error: function(){         alert('Error loading XML document');     },     success: function(xml){         // do something with xml     } });
