jQuery v2.0.3 is executing a local script even when it is 404 Not Found .

[[email protected]…]

In Chrome, I am loading a html page into a DIV using:

$.get(address, "", callbackWhenDone).error(function () { alert(); });

This html page contains the following line: <script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8" src="http://localhost:8080/App/DOESNOTEXIST.js"></script>

The DOESNOTEXIST.js file does not exit in localhost, and JQuery knows it. However, JQuery executes it anyway. The console reads:

GET http: //localhost:8080/App/DOESNOTEXIST.js 404 (Not Found) jquery.js:6

XHR finished loading: "http: //localhost:8080/App/DOESNOTEXIST.js". jquery.js:6

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < jquery.js:4

If the html instead contains <script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8" src="http://jquery.com/DOESNOTEXIST.js"></script>

then JQuery does not execute it. The console now reads only:

GET http://jquery.com/DOESNOTEXIST 404 (Not Found) jquery.js:6

Maybe JQuery is executing it in the first case because it is at localhost, or because it is not a cross-domain js, but I guess if it finds a 404 it should not execute it under any circumstances, right?

Please create a test case using jsbin.com, see the instructions on that site for doing same-domain ajax requests.
