Question
question regarding $.ajax()...
Hi,
I have a simple ajax function (see code below) that submits a very simple form to a proceess page (TestJQueryProcess.cfm). My question is: Is there a way to return a message that tells exactly what kind of error occurs on the process page (TestJQueryProcess.cfm)?
Because all I get from the "status" argument of the "error : function (data, status) {} " function is "error" when something goes wrong in TestJQueryProcess.cfm.
Many thanks in advance.

In TestJQueryProcess.cfm:
<cfsetting showdebugoutput="false" enablecfoutputonly="true">
<cfoutput>Echo: #form.firstName# #form.lastName#</cfoutput>
