jQuery.error() is not working for iframe.

Question

I\'m trying to use jquery to detect whether an iframe fails to load or the page doesn\'t exist, but the code below isn\'t working:

$(\'#frame\').e         


        

Answer 1

One of the comments on the documentation says:

Using .error() on an iframe never seems to trigger (even though .load() will trigger on a successful iframe load).

This event does not appear to be designed to work in this use case.

The answers to this question explain how to do it.

Answer 2

iframe do not trigger onerror event even if it fails to load the document. I think load will be triggered even in this case and you can check for the status code to determine if the page is loaded successfully or no.
