Best way to check if AJAX request was successful in jQuery

Question

I\'ve been checking to make sure my AJAX requests are successful by doing something like this:

$.post(\"page.php\", {data: stuff}, function(data, status) {
          


        

Answer 1

I prefer to use the ajax call, as it has an explicit success handler

$.ajax({
url: "page.php",
data: stuff,
success: function(response){
console.log("success");
}
});

I'd also recommend using firebug or webkit similar, then you can track the requests and check the parameters!
