Question

I’m working on a stripes app that uses a bit of jQuery to make the UI more dynamic/usable.

I set up an Error Resolution, so if an error is thrown, the user is redirected to an error.jsp page.

However, if an error is thrown during a jQuery Ajax call, instead of redirecting to the error.jsp page, I get html printed to the page where the result of the call should have been instead.

How do I tell jQuery to redirect if an exception was thrown instead of printing to the page?

An example of the offending Ajax:

$.post('SendStatusEmail.action',             {status: newstatus, id : id },             function(data) {                 column.text(data);                 column.addClass('redfont');                 column.parent().fadeOut(3000, function(){column.parent().remove()}); 

Answer 1

$(document).ajaxError(function(event, XMLHttpRequest, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {     // redirect here. } 

I should add that I don’t redirect when there is an exception in an Ajax call. Instead, I have the server return an error description in JSON format and display that in the page.
