<h2>Promises Simple Example</h2> | |

// so check the status | |
if (req.status == 200) { | |
// Resolve the promise with the response text | |
resolve(req.response); | |
} | |
else { | |
// Otherwise reject with the status text | |

// Handle network errors | |
req.onerror = function() { | |
reject(Error("Network Error")); | |
}; | |
// Make the request | |
