Question

I’ve implemented ajax call using jQuery and in case of error, I could look for textStatus to determine whether the error is “timeout”, “error”, “abort”, “parseerror”.

But what does “error” really stands for? 404(not found)? 408(timeout)?

code:

$.ajax({
        url: "../resources/plan/get/" + planno,
        type: "get",
        dataType: "html",
        timeout: 5000,
        success: function(data, txtStat, xhr) {
            console.log("success:" + txtStat);
        },
        error: function(xhr, txtStat, errThrown) {
            if(txtStat === "timeout") { 
                console.log("ajax has timed-out! " + txtStat + ":::" + errThrown);
            }
            else if(txtStat === "error") {

              //so..what is error means???


            }
            //TODO write else..
        }
});

I wonder if it is everything other than HTTP 200?

I would guess everything except 200. Can’t you look at xhr.status to see what error code the server returned?
