Developer Snippet - Pretty AJAX Errors

Tired of drudging through the console when looking for the cause of AJAX errors? Sick of trying to scan the stringified .NET or webservice error pages for the underlying error? Do I have the handy hint for you!

The following snippet creates a global listener for AJAX errors, shows a jGrowl reporting the error thrown, and then allows you to view the resulting error page - all without breaking the user’s workflow.

Example on JSFiddle.

It was designed to work with .NET applications and webservice error messages which both return error pages, but there’s no reason why you can’t use this with RESTful services (or anything) returning error codes and error messages.

Requires: jQuery, jGrowl JS and jGrowl CSS
