I have a JQuery ajax request that can return error status and messages.
To handle them I use this code :
$.ajax("url", {
options: options
}).done(function(text, statusText, data) {
//Manage data
}).fail(function(data) {
//Manage fail
});
In the fail handle I want, in case of 500: internal server error, to open a new tab with the response text (for debug purposes)
I do it this way :
if (data.status === 500) {
var w = window.open("App error", "blank");
w.document.write(data.responseText);
}
And it works !
Except one point : my browser loads the page, the content is displayed (and as it's static content all of this is not a real problem), but the tab is marked as loading... Loading... Loading...
I'm using Firefox 63.0(64bits).
Does anyone know where this comes from ? It's not really annoying, it's just a (fun ?) behavior I don't understand.
It has to do with the w.document.write line. If you close the document, the loader will finish. Change the code to:
if (data.status === 500) {
var w = window.open("App error", "blank");
w.document.write(data.responseText);
w.document.close();
}
