Can jQuery provide a fallback for failed AJAX calls? This is my try: function update() { var requestOK = false; $.getJSON(url, function(){ alert('request successful'); requestOK = true; }); if (!requestOK) { alert('request failed'); } } Unfortunately, even if the callback function of the $.getJSON() method is called, i get the message 'request failed', before the callback function has the opportunity to set the requestOK variable. I think it's because the code runs in parallel. Is there a way to handle such situations? I thought about chaining or some way of waiting for the AJAX request, including its callback function. But how? Does anyone know how to do that?
