@adi8 this code block should be when ajax request fails. You have put it under success callback function.

I put it in the success callback as the ajax call does succeed with a 200 OK status. It's just that it doesn't return a valid response. I can add the code in the failure call back as well if you want.

How do you know it succeeds? Did you check how ajax behaves when the server times out? We need to consider that as well.

The response which consists the "Error code: 1200" as its compile status, is a success as the API informs us about its inability to compile the code sent to it. Also when this response is returned by the API we see "Error code: 1200" in the output box, which would not be the case if the ajax request failed. (If it did fail we would get a "Server couldn't complete request. Please try again!" message)

As to "how ajax behaves when the server times out", do you mean when we run a code that crosses the time limit or when the server crashes or something?

@adi8 yes, I was referring to the case when the server crashes and doesn't return any response within the timeout limit.
