Posted from: 216.239.45.4 by ian@hixie.ch 33605 1 ian 2010-03-15 21:14:02 +0000 In practice I expect it should only fire for 4xx and 5xx responses, DNS failures, and network errors. I wouldn't expect it to fire for cross-domain loads of any kind, for URL parsing errors, for JS errors in the page once it has loaded, or for 2xx responses. 34238 2 ian 2010-03-31 19:39:07 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
