How do I retrieve the responseText of a jquery.ajax error?

Question

The code goes like this:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://server.com/rest",
    dataType: "jsonp",
    success:function(d, t, x) {
        console.log(d);
    },
    error:function(x, t, e) {
        console.log(x.responseText);
    }
});

Firebug shows that I am receiving a response but the code above only logs "undefined". Firebug also shows that the http status code is 200. Can anybody tell me how to retrieve the response?

You can't get the responseText in the error because there is no reponseText in an error condition. — epascarello, Feb 27 '14 at 14:39

if you are using jsonp. your server should bind the response to a callback function. Example

server response

myFunction(someresponsehere)

client side

function myFunction(response)
{
  //you will get the response from server here "response"
  }

I know but in this case I don't control the server. The server only returns the data without the callback so the callback is never called. I can't use a non-jsonp call because I get an "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource" error. The only way I get data back is if I use jsonp. – ferd tomale Feb 27 '14 at 14:36
