Why is it doing this?

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open(“GET”, “http://www.codecademy.com/doesnt_exist“, false); xhr.send(); console.log(xhr.status); console.log(xhr.statusText);

Oops,try again did you console.log(xhr.status)?

I just figured it out. Some asshole created a doesnt_exist profile. HAHAHA. So the call for the status can’t possibly work now. I entered a bunch of gibberish after http://www.codecademy.com/ and it accepted it fine. I’ll try to contact the instructor who made this course.

Questions posted to this forum originating from a given Exercise should perhaps be linked from within that Exercise to make it especially easy for people to find the specifically relevant content. Just an idea. I’m sure I’m not the only one who (besides Ethan) who sat frustrated for several minutes before checking the forum to learn asshole.create = Profile(“ doesnt_exist”). :)

I would like to recommend this site to some of my staff learning on the side, but this issue makes me hesitate… :( Maybe Eric could build in some automated error checking of the lesson integrity to run every 15m or 1h and alert him – he could then take albeit not 100% ideal step of blocking the IP or, force people to get an Account before using the Production Lesson server and close them out that way… This site has real promise, I hope these issues can be ironed out - good luck!
