Handling errors in jQuery.getScript

Question

jQuery\'s getScript function doesn\'t seem to support an error callback function. I can\'t use the global ajax error handling code here, a local error function would be idea

Answer 1

The global JQuery Ajax-ErrorHandler will work!

Prior to the $.getScript-Call setup the Error Handler to cach the error.

$(document).ajaxError(function(e, xhr, settings, exception) {
    alert('error in: ' + settings.url + ' \n'+'error:\n' + exception );
});

As described in the JQuery manual: http://api.jquery.com/ajaxError/.
