How to detect JQuery $.get failure? Seeking simple code example
<p>I'm a JQuery n00b. I'm trying to code a very simple using $.get(). The <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/#" rel="nofollow">official documentation</a> says   </p>

<pre>If a request with jQuery.get() returns an error code, it will fail silently 
unless the script has also called the global .ajaxError()  method or. 

As of jQuery 1.5, the .error() method of the jqXHR object 
returned by jQuery.get() is also available for error handling.</pre>

<p>So, if all goes well, my callback function for success will be called. However, if the request fails, I would like to get the HTTP code :404, 502, etc and formulate a meaningful error message for the user.</p>

<p>However, since this is an asynchronous call I can imagine that I might have several outstanding. How would .ajaxError() know which request it corresponds to?  Maybe it would be better to use the .error() method of the jqXHR object returned by jQuery.get()?</p>

<p>Can someone please prvode an extremely simple code example? Perhaps the success routine calls Alert("Page found") and the failure routine checks for 404 and does an Alert("Page not found")</p>
