JQuery - How to simulate an error event for ajaxSubmit

Question

I use ajaxSubmit to submit my form and would like to check if the event returns an error.

var options = { beforeSubmit: showRequest, // pre-submit callback success: showResponse, // post-submit callback error: printError, url: '../validation.php' }; $('#form1').submit(function () { $(this).ajaxSubmit(options); return false; }); 

In other words, I need to know how to simulate an error event so that I can test the printError function.

thanks

Answer 1

returns an error code from your php script using the header operator. for example

 header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden'); 

or

 header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not found'); 

Answer 2

..... try pointing the AJAX request to the wrong url? I think this will work.

Answer 3

You can use the Fiddler autoresponder to intercept XHR and simulate various error responses. This is especially useful if you do not want (or cannot) interfere with the server-side code.
