Error handling in getJSON calls

Question

How can you handle errors in a getJSON call? Im trying to reference a cross-domain script service using jsonp, how do you register an error method?

Answer 1

In some cases, you may run into a problem of synchronization with this method. I wrote the callback call inside a setTimeout function, and it worked synchronously just fine =)

E.G:

function obterJson(callback) {


    jqxhr = $.getJSON(window.location.href + "js/data.json", function(data) {

    setTimeout(function(){
        callback(data);
    },0);
}
