Hi, I'll just followup on my own statement.. I found the solution I was looking for. when calling $.ajax it has an event called error you can act on.
error: function( XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown ) the XMLHttpRequest has a method called responseText which is the actually text that the server outputs.. and this is what I wanted because all the error information about the php is there. so basically just do an alert( XMLHttpRequest.responseText ) you will get a dump of what happend. thanks, Peter On Sun, Jun 14, 2009 at 8:05 PM, MorningZ <morni...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I also deal with JSON almost exclusively (albiet in .NET, but getting > the server side error would be the same) > > since $.getJSON doesn't handle error events, I wrote this simple > wrapper around the $.ajax function > > GetAjax = function(url, params, success, error) { > var CallParams = {}; > CallParams.type = "POST"; > CallParams.url = url; > CallParams.processData = true; > CallParams.data = params; > CallParams.dataType = "json"; > CallParams.success = success; > if (error) { > CallParams.error = error; > } > $.ajax(CallParams); > } > > > so now I could say: > > var Params = {}; > Params.ID = 4; > Params.Name = "Steve"; > > AjaxGet( > "some url", > Params, > function(json) { > //with success, 'json' is my result > } > function(x,y,z) { > //on error, x.responseText has the server error result > } > ); > > hope that helps > > > On Jun 14, 12:31 pm, Peter Marino <marino.pe...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi jQuery, > > I'm using the $.ajax method and when this errors I react to the error > event > > within and dump > > the XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown to get an idea of what when > > wrong... but > > the most common message is "parse error" which doesn't help me that much. > > > > what is going wrong is that on the server side my php file has errors in > it > > and I would like > > to see the errors on the client side. > > > > so basically is there a way to dump the result the server sends back that > > $.ajax does not > > know how to handle. btw: my $.ajax is setup to use json and this is > probably > > why it fails... > > but I would like to see the result from the server. > > > > is this possible? > > anyone? > > > > -- > > Power Tumbling -http://www.powertumbling.dk > > OSG-Help -http://osghelp.com > -- Power Tumbling - http://www.powertumbling.dk OSG-Help - http://osghelp.com
