Question

Im trying to access a 404 event which I can see coming back as 404 with firebug but the error function is not kicking in, With my below code I always get Error: success ?.

What you can also do is use the $.ajaxError function, like so

$("#message").ajaxError(function (event, request, settings) {
    $(this).show();
    $(this).append("
Error requesting page " + settings.url + "
");
});
