I'm using the jQuery UI Autocomplete plugin to create a quick search bar that will populate a dropdown list of matched elements.
Everything works fine but I would like to prepare my search plugin to handle HTTP errors as well that comes from the ajax call.
I didn't find a way to handle this. I read through the documentation: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/ but it seems there is no such event or callback called 'error' that could be used for this scenario.
Want I would like to achieve is an alert box that tells the user there was an error on the server side.
Would someone give me an example of this?
Thanks!
