Debugging Jquery ajax function

Question

JS code:

$.ajax({


        type: \'POST\',
         url: \'http://localhost/MyServiceDir/Service.asmx/Foo\',
         contentType: \'application/json; charset=u         


        

Answer 1

The "status" parameter only includes why it failed -- timeout, error, etc... To get the status code you need to check the response object: xhr.status

See http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#response for details.

If you are getting "500 Internal Server Error" that is all you are going to get from ajax. You will have to check your application or server logs. This could be a syntax error or or library error or something else along those lines.
