I believe onFailure is only a callback method for errors that happen on
the server (you would have to have caught some kind of error condition
in the server side code and explicitly initiated the onFailure method in
your response), not on the client during the attempted transport/request
to the server...
I think what you want is:
try
{
new Ajax.Request('non_existant.file', {
onSuccess:function(){alert("yay");},
onFailure:function(){alert("boo");}
});
}
catch (e)
{
doSomething();
}

Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] onFailure fails?
Hi all,
I have this code:
new Ajax.Request('non_existant.file', {
onSuccess:function(){alert("yay");},
onFailure:function(){alert("boo");}
});
Why does the onFailure alert never get called? It works fine if I use
a real file (onSuccess gets called).
Thanks,
Douglas
