Question

I want to know that how can we get ajax status code in jquery.
I have this ajax block:

$.ajax{
    type: "GET",
    url: "keyword_mapping.html",
    data:"ajax=yes&sf="+status_flag,

    success: callback.success,
    complete: rollup_filters(),
    failure: function(){
        alert("Failure");
    }
    }

Now in above code, in case of failure, how can i get ajax status code and some description of that status code ??

Answer 1

You want to use the error option to capture this. For example:

error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
    // Your handler here...
}

You can then use the jqXHR object to retrieve information about the failure.

From the documentation:

For backward compatibility with XMLHttpRequest, a jqXHR object will expose the following properties and methods:

• readyState
• status
• statusText
• responseXML and/or responseText when the underlying request responded with xml and/or text, respectively
• setRequestHeader(name, value) which departs from the standard by replacing the old value with the new one rather than concatenating the new value to the old one
• getAllResponseHeaders()
• getResponseHeader()
• abort()
