A network error with a status of 0 typically occurs when there is an issue with the connection, such as it being dropped or aborted unexpectedly. Some browsers, like Internet Explorer, may display error codes in the 12000 range which can provide additional information about the cause of the network error.
In the scenario described, the network error 0 is generated when an AJAX request is forcibly terminated by reloading the page.
My approach to handling this type of error involves implementing a retry mechanism in my AJAX function. Instead of displaying a generic error message, the function automatically retries the request after a brief delay if it encounters a network error of 0. For example, if there is a temporary loss of internet connectivity due to a power outage, the website will continuously attempt to reconnect at regular intervals until the server is reachable again. This process ensures that the user experiences minimal disruption. In cases where the page is reloaded, the retry mechanism is never triggered, resulting in a smooth termination without any unnecessary alerts.
