That’s a good point, but it really just depends on your app. jQuery will actually fire the error event if your server responds with a 4xx or 5xx status code as well. For most of my apps, the vast majority of errors from the app are from the back end and come with explanations, like validation failures (422 Unprocessable Entity) when trying to save an object.

Doesn’t an ajax error mean that the client was unable to complete the call to the server. Therefore, handling the error by outputting response text is not the right solution. Instead shouldn’t you process the ajax error or status object.

Also I think ajax:error object only passes three parameters to the function: error(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown).

Therefore this section:

.bind('ajax:error', function(evt, xhr, status, error){

// Display the errors (i.e. an error partial or helper)
$(this).find('.errors').html(xhr.responseText);

});

Should be something like:

.bind('ajax:error', function(xhr, status, error){

// Display the errors (i.e. an error partial or helper)
$(this).find('.errors').html(status);

});

Comment on Track jQuery AJAX Requests in Google Analytics by Olly

Just a note that if you have a REALLY old google analytics implementation (urchin.js), you will need to use the urchinTracker function not trackPageView

ajaxSend(function(event, xhr, settings){// Log all jQuery AJAX requests to Google Analytics
if (typeof urchinTracker !== "undefined" && urchinTracker !== null) {
urchinTracker(settings.url);
}
});

Comment on The Difference Between jQuery’s .bind(), .live(), and .delegate() by Steve Schwartz

If you’re talking strictly about script tags placed directly in your html document, then yes, but I was referring to javascript in an external javascript file, which is usually where you would write your javascript. And links to external js files are usually in the head section.
