I'm doing an $.ajax call, which is returning a json response and all seems fine, but instead of the success handler being invoked, the $.ajax error handler is invoked even though the readystate=4 and the status=200.
The $.ajax call is:-
$.ajax({
url: 'inc/ajax_printorder.asp',
type: "GET",
data: data,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
cache: false,
success: function (sendresponse) {
var message = (typeof sendresponse.jsonresp) == 'string' ? eval('(' + sendresponse.jsonresp + ')') : sendresponse.jsonresp;
if (message[0].ok == '1') {
var order = window.open('', 'PrintWindow', 'width=600,height=600');
var html = '<html><head><title>Print Your Order</title></head><body><div id="myprintorder">' + $('<div />').append(message[0].msg) + '</div></body></html>';
order.document.open();
order.document.write(html);
order.document.close();
return false;
};
},
error: function (xhr, err) {
alert("readyState: " + xhr.readyState + "\nstatus: " + xhr.status);
alert("responseText: " + xhr.responseText);
}
});
and from Firebug, the ajax response is:-
{"jsonresp":[{"__type":"sendresponse","ok":"1","msg":"<h1>Your www.sandwichlunchesnewbury.co.uk order on 02/05/2011 00:34:01</h1><p>Website order from www.sandwichlunchesnewbury.co.uk on 02/05/2011 00:34:01 from:- </p><table width="60%" style="border:1px solid blue;padding:5px;"><tr><td>Name</td><td> a </td></tr><tr><td>Phone</td><td> b </td></tr><tr><td>Email</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Business name</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Delivery address</td><td> c </td></tr><tr><td>Date food required</td><td> Monday, 02/05/2011 </td></tr><tr><td>Time food required</td><td> 10 Am </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Just Sandwiches (standard)</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Just Sandwiches (gourmet)</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Just Baguettes (standard)</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Just Baguettes (gourmet)</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Gourmet Bread Sandwiches</td><td> 2 </td></tr><tr><td>Sausage rolls</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Cookie boxes</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Total price</td><td> £50.00 </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">Other info & special instructions </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr></table>"}]}
Any thoughts on why its going to error rather than success?
Thanks

readyState: 4: request finished and response is ready status: 200: "OK" When readyState is 4 and status is 200, the response is ready: since when xmlhttp.
State 4 means that the request had been sent, the server had finished returning the response and the browser had finished downloading the response content.
From W3schools: readyState=0. Means that the request isn't sent. (your broswer isn't connected to the targeted server). It's mean that the socket is not opened : no TCP handshake, so the targeted URL is just not reached...
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. In a nutshell, it is the use of the XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with servers. It can send and receive information in various formats, including JSON, XML, HTML, and text files.
Your response JSON is invalid, among other things, you will need to escape the double quotes (\"
instead of "
). You didn't post what the error text (the value of err
as passed to error
) is but I suspect it'll be parsererror
.
I've found JSONLint to be very useful in ensuring I'm receiving/sending valid JSON.
