I don't know why doesn't work... i use $.ajax for run file.php and pass it (POST) a value of input This file.php works but my function ajax doesn't work:

        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'file.php',
            data: { email: $('#andressemail').val() },
            success: function(data,status){
                if(status === '200'){
                    newmessage();
                }
                else{
                    erroremessage();
                }
            }
        });

       funtion newmessage(){
        alert('ok');
       }

       funtion erroremessage(){
        alert('no');
       }     

The file.php works fine (it adds an user at my newsletter), but for $.ajax doesn't work and status code is not 200

Why ?

• javascript
• jquery
• ajax

• try this: status == 'success' – Mehdi Dehghani Commented Apr 29, 2016 at 12:31

Try following to get status code, use xhr.status for statuscode:

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'file.php',
        data: { email: $('#andressemail').val() },
        success: function(xml, textStatus, xhr) {
            alert(xhr.status);
            if(xhr.status === '200'){
                newmessage();
            }
            else{
                erroremessage();
            }
        }
    });

   funtion newmessage(){
    alert('ok');
   }

   funtion erroremessage(){
    alert('no');
   }     

The success function only runs when the HTTP response is already 200. You need to use error function as well which fires when the HTTP response is not finished correctly. Change your code to look like:

function newmessage(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
  alert('ok');
}

function erroremessage(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
  alert('no');
}

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: 'file.php',
  data: { email: $('#andressemail').val() },
  success: newmessage,
  error: erroremessage
});

Best way to deal with $.ajax is this:

var _ajax = function(url, data, type){
    return $.ajax({
        type: type,
        url: url,
        data: data,
    });
}

var data = { email: $('#andressemail').val() };

_ajax('file.php', data, 'POST')
    .success(function(res, statusTitle, xhr){
        // res: response from server
        // statusTitle = 'success', ...
        // xhr: XHR object, for your case, xhr.status will be 200
    });

you can use .error(function(){...}) too, (also .done);
