Window.location.href(url). how to catch the success event for the url

Question

I am trying to make a cordova wrapper for a hosted web App. I need to catch the event for server error for the requested URL. Remember i am opening the URL by using Window.location.href. Please suggest ?

You can't do it using window.location.href . You can send a GET request however using Ajax and see what code you get back before actually going to that website.

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();  
req.open('GET', 'http://www.example.org', true);  
req.send();  
if (req.status != "200") {
    //  Error
}
