I have a page with a dialog window which sends ajax post data to server and receives a response. During development, there can be two responses - one regular (this is not the question) or one with an error. Server returns code 500 and a page with lot of debug informations. This is a regular page returned from a framework and contains some javascript code. I want to be able to display this error page in case it happens.
The problem is, I can not simply attach the returned result to body element or open a new link in a new page and load this error again. I simply get a html page instead of data and I have to display the page (in current window or in another one).
I am using jQuery.

Configure jQuery ajax setup as follows:
$.ajaxSetup({
error: handleXhrError
});
where handleXhrError function look like this:
function handleXhrError(xhr) {
document.open();
document.write(xhr.responseText);
document.close();
}
You may also try to use data URL's, the latest versions of the major browsers supporting it:
function utf8_to_b64( str ) {
return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent( str )));
}
function loadHtml(html)
{
localtion.href='data:text/html;base64,'+utf8_to_b64(html);
}
This way, you can load any html page you want in runtime.

In your ajax callback:
success: function (data) {
$("html").html($(data).find("html").html());
}
That will replace the entire page's HTML content with the one received from your AJAX request. Works in Chrome... not sure about IE.
Despite that, I'm not sure why you'd want to include the <head> section... but you can easily modify the above to display just what's in the body of the AJAX response, and append it to a div or even a lightbox. Much nicer.
