how about that:
if an error occours, let the server send a 500 header and the error
message as a content.
header("HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error");
print("this cannot be done.");
to get this working you have to replace $(self).load(..) call with
$.ajax() call:
$.ajax({
url:settings.url,
type: "POST",
data: $.param(p),
complete: function(str){self.editing = false;},
success: function(r){self.innerHTML=r;},
error: function(r){alert("ERROR: "+ r.responseText);}
});
error: alerts the message or does whatever you want. i contacted the
author who wants to think about that.
another solution could be to use ajaxError (i just stumbled across).
but that leads me to another question: is it possible to populate the
error response there?
