handler(event, jqXHR, ajaxSettings, thrownError)Type: Function()The function to be invoked.

Whenever an Ajax request completes with an error, jQuery triggers the ajaxError
event. Any and all handlers that have been registered with the .ajaxError()
method are executed at this time.
To observe this method in action, set up a basic Ajax load request.

When the user clicks the button and the Ajax request fails, because the requested file is missing, the log message is displayed.
Note: Because .ajaxError()
is implemented as a method of jQuery object instances, you can use the this
keyword within the callback function to refer to the selected elements. As of jQuery 1.8, however, the .ajaxError()
method should only be attached to document
.
All ajaxError
handlers are invoked, regardless of what Ajax request was completed. To differentiate between the requests, use the parameters passed to the handler. Each time an ajaxError
handler is executed, it is passed the event object, the jqXHR
object (prior to jQuery 1.5, the XHR
object), and the settings object that was used in the creation of the request. If the request failed because JavaScript raised an exception, the exception object is passed to the handler as a fourth parameter. For example, to restrict the error callback to only handling events dealing with a particular URL:

method will not fire.
