How to get the jQuery $.ajax error response text?

ajax, error-handling, javascript, jquery, php

Solution

Try:

error: function(xhr, status, error) {
  var err = eval("(" + xhr.responseText + ")");
  alert(err.Message);
}

Problem

I am sending an error response to my jQuery. However, I can not get the response text (in the example below this would be Gone to the beach) The only thing jQuery says is 'error'. See this example for details: php ``` <? header('HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error'); print "Gone to the beach" ?> ``` jQuery ``` $.ajax({ type: "post", data: {id: 0}, cache: false, url: "doIt.php", dataType: "text", error: function (request, error) { console.log(arguments); alert(" Can't do because: " + error); }, success: function () { alert(" Done ! "); } }); ``` Now my result ist: log: ``` [XMLHttpRequest readyState=4 status=500, "error", undefined] ``` alert: Can't do because: error Any ideas?
