Question

I haven’t been able to retrieve the error message from my ajax call in order to figure out what the error is.

I’ve seen this question: errorThrown in Jquery Ajax Returns Undefined?

I copied that error call, but still no result.

grab_songs = function() {
    $.ajax({
        type:'POST',
        url: 'http://tangoalphatango.com/songs.php',
        succss: function(data) {
            $('#result').html('success');
        },
        error: function(x, textStatus, errorThrown){
            alert(errorThrown);
        }
    });
}
$('.song-title').click(grab_songs);​

Why won’t ajax give me an error message?

Answer 1

$.ajax({type:'POST',url:'/songs.php',data:{id:song},success:function(data){$('#lyrics').html(data);}});

The request is no longer failing, but I’ve no idea what changed. I was never able to capture an error message and the browser console never gave me an error either. All I can do is chalk it up to a server error.
