Description

I get the follow error message when I make a ajax reqest as shown on IE 6. Timeout doesnt working.. I get triggerd asap the error callback with textStatus = timeout

j.readyState is null or not an object on IE6 with Timeout enabled

    $.ajax({
            url: base_url + 'index.php',
            data: params,
            type: 'POST',
            dataType: 'xml', 
            cache: false,
            timeout: 1000,
            success: this.action_success(this),
            error: this.action_error(this),
            complete: this.action_complete(this)
          })

I tested 1.3.1 and also the current 1.3.2

oh.. I forgot to say, that when I remove the timeout option from the reqest, that it works, without a error.

This error also happens in IE 7 for example:

$(document).ready(function() {
	$.ajax({
		url:"endless_loop.php",
		dataType:"json",
		timeout:2000,
		success: ExibeJSON,
		error: ExibeErro			
	});
});

function ExibeErro(XMLHttpRequest,textStatus,errorThrown) {
	alert(textStatus);
}

function ExibeJSON(jn) {
	alert(jn.lista);
}

I get it too, using IE7. It happens on the line "if (xhr.readyState == 0)" in the following fragment of 1.3.2 (line 3555):

// Wait for a response to come back
var onreadystatechange = function(isTimeout){
	// The request was aborted, clear the interval and decrement jQuery.active
	if (xhr.readyState == 0) {
		if (ival) {
			// clear poll interval
			clearInterval(ival);
			ival = null;
			// Handle the global AJAX counter
			if ( s.global && ! --jQuery.active )
				jQuery.event.trigger( "ajaxStop" );
		}

In FF3, no error.

I get it too, using IE7. Can't say really where it is happening, a bunch of messy code in the page

I get it too with IE. Fixed by changing first if(J.readyState... check to if(J&&J.readyState... so it checks if object exists in first place.

I can confirm that this bug happens to me every time an ajax timeout event fires in IE 8. Very annoying.

Also getting this issue - just enabled system-wide reporting of JS errors back to server, and this is the error i am getting. Should it not come into error handler?

component:	unfiled → ajax
resolution:	→ fixed
status:	new → closed

This was fixed in 1.4. If you're having a problem with $.ajax in 1.4, please look for another ticket to open, ask for help on the forums, or create a new ticket with a clear test case.
