ajax call does not succeed - ajax

I have the following code:
function processJson(data, i) {
alert(i);
}
function processChunk(i) {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://www.mplampla.com/idsBook.php?id=8",
data: "",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
alert('yooohooooo!!');
//processJson(data,i);
},
error: function() {
alert('Oops, something went wrong...');
}
});
}
But it does not succeed and always shows the alert of the error callback! What am I doing wrong? The link is ok when I hit it in the browser... any idea?

Since you have an absolute URI, odds are that you are violating the Same Origin Policy and don't have permission from CORS to do so (and since you are specifying JSON, you clearly aren't using JSONP to work around the limitation).
Alternatively, as #Darin Dimitrov points out, your URI resolves to a 404 error which would also cause a failure state for the Ajax call.
… it would help if you looked at your JS console and told us what errors you received though.

How to show AJAX response message in alert?

I am sending username and password as request parameter to the server in AJAX and trying to show the response message. But not able to showing the response message.In fiddler it is showing the response message. But while on the browser screen it is not showing.PLEASE somebody help me out where i am wrong or need to change anything..
I have written like this-
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnCity").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://test.xyz.com/login",
crossDomain: true,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: { username: "abc", password: "1234" },
dataType: "JSONP",
jsonpCallback: 'jsonCallback',
async: false,
success: function (resdata) {
alert(resdata);
},
error: function (result, status, err) {
alert(result.responseText);
alert(status.responseText);
alert(err.Message);
}
});
});
});
TL;DR: I guess the problem is on the server side of your code (that we don't know yet).
At first: I don't know why it fails for you. I've taken your code and ran it against a public available JSONP API, that returns the current IP of your system and it worked.
Please try yourself using the URL: http://ip.jsontest.com/.
So most probably, the server doesn't return the right response to the JSONP request. Have a look at the network tab in developer tools. With your current code, the answer of the server should be something like:
jsonCallback({'someResponseKeys': 'someResponseValue'});
Note: The header should contain Content-Type:application/javascript!
BTW, even if this doesn't for now solve your problem - here are some tweaks, I'd like to advice to you:
Don't set async to false, at the documentation of jQuery.ajax() says:
Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous
operation.
You don't need to set a jsonpCallback, because jQuery will generate and handle (using the success function a random one for you. Quote from the docs:
This value will be used instead of the random name automatically generated by jQuery. It is preferable to let jQuery generate a unique name as it'll make it easier to manage the requests and provide callbacks and error handling.
So here comes my code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnCity").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://ip.jsontest.com/",
crossDomain: true,
data: { username: "abc", password: "1234" },
dataType: "JSONP",
success: function (resdata) {
console.log("success", resdata);
},
error: function (result, status, err) {
console.log("error", result.responseText);
console.log("error", status.responseText);
console.log("error", err.Message);
}
});
});
});
A working example can be found here.
Another solution, like Yonatan Ayalon suggested, can be done with a predefined function and then setting the jsonpCallback explicitly to the function that should be called.
if you see the response in Fiddler, it seems that the issue is in the callback function.
you are doing a jsonP call - which means that you need a callback function to "read" the response data.
Do you have a local function that calls "jsonCallback"?
this is a simple jsonP request, which initiates the function "gotBack()" with the response data:
function gotBack(data) {
console.log(data);
}
$.ajax({
url: 'http://test.xyz.com/login' + '?callback=?',
type: "POST",
data: formData,
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonpCallback: "gotBack"
});
You can try with the following methods and close every instance of chrome browser in task manager, then open browser in web security disable mode by the command "chrome.exe --disable-web-security"
success: function (resdata) {
alert(resdata);
alert(JSON.stringify(resdata));
},
And the better option to debug the code using "debugger;"
success: function (resdata) {
debugger;
alert(resdata);
alert(JSON.stringify(resdata));
},

cross domain request issue origin not allow

cross domain request issue
my ajax call code actually when i am running given url directly in browser it shows me json data but using ajax call it always shows me ajax error believe me i tried n follow many things no fruitful result from 18 days.
$.ajax({
crossDomain:true,
type: "GET",
url: 'http://taxihub.azurewebsites.net/Mobile/api/json.php?method=getCompanyList',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
processData: false,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
return;
},
error: function (err) {
console.log("AJAX ERROR");
console.log(err.responseText);
}
});
you can also check this link directly u will see json data coming but i found error i dont know why
"http://taxihub.azurewebsites.net/Mobile/api/json.php?method=getCompanyList"
error: OPTIONS http://taxihub.azurewebsites.net/Mobile/api/json.php?method=getCompanyList Origin lhost:809 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
please help me i am stuck here from 18 days on this issue
Remove the cross-domain and content-type part and it'll work but you'll have to do a little extra string manipulation work to put it in JSON object:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: 'http://taxihub.azurewebsites.net/Mobile/api/json.php?method=getCompanyList',
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data.result.getCompanyList[0].CompanyID);
return;
},
error: function (err) {
console.log("AJAX ERROR");
console.log(err);
}
});
}
Actually it seems cross-domain doesn't have any effect with or without it. I guess the server you're targeting doesn't have strict cross-domain prevention but doesn't like the JSON content-type. I'd be glad to get a more specific explanation.
EDIT I used JQuery 1.10.2 if it matters

Jquery AJAX for fetching JSON, affected by URL prefix (www vs. no www)?

I have come across a peculiar item in JQuery that I am hoping somebody can help me to understand.
I've spent much of the day trying to get JQUERY's AJAX 'success' function to be raised when returning JSON from the server.
I checked the JSON # JSONLint to ensure validity, checked encoding, tried different headers, but still PROBLEMS.
After a couple hours, I switched the url (by accident!)
from
http//www.testing.com/_r4444/myfile.php
to the exact same thing WITHOUT the www... and it suddenly worked.
I have no clue why this would be the case - any ideas?
the snippet follows
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax( {
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json",
url: "http://testing.com/_r4444/getter.php",
beforeSend: function(x) {
if(x && x.overrideMimeType) x.overrideMimeType("application/json;charset=UTF-8");
},
data: "pass=TEST",
dataType: "json",
error: function (xhr, status) {
alert(status);
},
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
}
});
});
Are you using "www" on the page in the browser?
Try switching the call to not include the domain, like:
"/_r4444/getter.php" instead of the full domain.

Jquery: probleme with $.ajax (json datatype)

I have a problem to refresh a bloc in my page.
Here is the request:
> $("#pwd_lost_link").click(function(){
alert('1');
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url: 'test.php',
dataType: 'json',
data :{"nom" : "akbar"},
success : function(data){
$("#main_bloc").append(data.msg);
alert('2');
},
error : function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(XMLHttpRequest.responseText);
alert(errorThrown); }
}); })
and here is the php file
<?php
$return['nom'] = "ffrfrfrfr";
echo json_encode($return)
?>
It doesn't work. It give me a status error ( 0 ) and the page is automatically reloaded
Thanks
Michaël
Confusing question Michael, not sure what you mean by "the page is automatically reloaded" but you should do 2 things:
In the $.ajax() method, make sure your success called back is handling the data correctly. You are looking for data.msg but I don't see where .msg comes from.
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: {},
dataType: "json",
url: url,
success: function(data) {
// parse data object so you can see what's being returned ex. alert(data) or alert(data[0]) or alert(data.nom)
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
// XHR DOM reference: http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_http.asp
// check for errors ex. alert(xhr.statusText);
}
});
On the PHP side, you may want to debug there to see what is being received and what you are sending back.
Aside from that using an XHR viewer like Firebug or Chrome's built-in utility (CTRL+SHIFT+I) can be very helpful.
And on a final note, if pwd_lost_link is a link elment a id="pwd_lost_link" href="..." then you will have to stop the browser from following the link before you process the AJAX.
$("#pwd_lost_link").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert('1');
$.ajax({
...
});
If you aren't seeing the '1' being alerted then that is definitely your first problem.
You're trying to access data.msg, but your PHP script is only creating data.nom. So data.msg doesn't exist. Try changing data.msg to data.nom and see if this does what you want.

jQuery.ajax returns 400 Bad Request

This works fine:
jQuery('#my_get_related_keywords').click(function() {
if (jQuery('#my_keyword').val() == '') return false;
jQuery.getJSON("http://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch/web/v1/"
+jQuery('#my_keyword').val()+"?"
+"appid=myAppID"
+"&lang=en"
+"&format=json"
+"&count=50"
+"&view=keyterms"
+"&callback=?",
function (data) {//do something}
This returns 400 Bad Request (Just a reformulation of the above jQuery using .ajax to support error handling).
jQuery('#my_get_related_keywords').click(function()
{
if (jQuery('#my_keyword').val() == '') return false;
jQuery('#my_loader').show();
jQuery.ajax(
{
url: "http://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch/web/v1/"
+jQuery('#my_keyword').val()+"?"
+"appid=myAppID"
+"&lang=en"
+"&format=json"
+"&count=50"
+"&view=keyterms"
+"&callback=?",
success: function(data)
{//do something}
I think you just need to add 2 more options (contentType and dataType):
$('#my_get_related_keywords').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "HERE PUT THE PATH OF YOUR SERVICE OR PAGE",
data: '{"HERE YOU CAN PUT DATA TO PASS AT THE SERVICE"}',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", // this
dataType: "json", // and this
success: function (msg) {
//do something
},
error: function (errormessage) {
//do something else
}
});
}
Add this to your ajax call:
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json"
Late answer, but I figured it's worth keeping this updated. Expanding on Andrea Turri answer to reflect updated jQuery API and .success/.error deprecated methods.
As of jQuery 1.8.* the preferred way of doing this is to use .done() and .fail(). Jquery Docs
e.g.
$('#my_get_related_keywords').click(function() {
var ajaxRequest = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "HERE PUT THE PATH OF YOUR SERVICE OR PAGE",
data: '{"HERE YOU CAN PUT DATA TO PASS AT THE SERVICE"}',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json"});
//When the request successfully finished, execute passed in function
ajaxRequest.done(function(msg){
//do something
});
//When the request failed, execute the passed in function
ajaxRequest.fail(function(jqXHR, status){
//do something else
});
});
Be sure and use 'get' or 'post' consistantly with your $.ajax call for example.
$.ajax({
type: 'get',
must be met with
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
===============
and for post
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
must be met with
app.post('/', function(req, res) {
I was getting the 400 Bad Request error, even after setting:
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json"
The issue was with the type of a property passed in the json object, for the data property in the ajax request object.
To figure out the issue, I added an error handler and then logged the error to the console. Console log will clearly show validation errors for the properties if any.
This was my initial code:
var data = {
"TestId": testId,
"PlayerId": parseInt(playerId),
"Result": result
};
var url = document.location.protocol + "//" + document.location.host + "/api/tests"
$.ajax({
url: url,
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json",
data: JSON.stringify(data), // issue with a property type in the data object
dataType: "json",
error: function (e) {
console.log(e); // logging the error object to console
},
success: function () {
console.log('Success saving test result');
}
});
Now after making the request, I checked the console tab in the browser development tool.
It looked like this:
responseJSON.errors[0] clearly shows a validation error: The JSON value could not be converted to System.String. Path: $.TestId, which means I have to convert TestId to a string in the data object, before making the request.
Changing the data object creation like below fixed the issue for me:
var data = {
"TestId": String(testId), //converting testId to a string
"PlayerId": parseInt(playerId),
"Result": result
};
I assume other possible errors could also be identified by logging and inspecting the error object.
Your AJAX call is not completed with the following two params.
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json"
contentType is the type of data you're sending
dataType is what you're expecting back from the server
In addition try to use JSON.stringify() method. It is used to turn a javascript object into json string.
