I can’t find the documentation on what the names of the three parameters are when $.ajax fails.
Right now, I’m just using:
.fail(function(A, B, C) {

According to http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ the fail callback should be getting:
jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown
same as error, but error is deprecated:
Deprecation Notice: The jqXHR.success(), jqXHR.error(), and jqXHR.complete() callbacks will be deprecated in jQuery 1.8. To prepare your code for their eventual removal, use jqXHR.done(), jqXHR.fail(), and jqXHR.always() instead.

Ooh, I didn't notice. Thanks for sharing that piece of the documentation. I'm glad jQuery XHR callbacks are finally matching up with Deferreds. Commented Mar 23, 2012 at 22:35

3Oh, but the ajaxError method has event, jqXHR, ajaxSettings, thrownError. Commented Mar 23, 2012 at 22:55

6Where does it state that the fail callback gets these 3 arguments? It also states so for the complete setting parameter. These are different, e.g. the arguments to
completeare different than the arguments passed todone.– TomCommented Jan 3, 2013 at 13:23 -
5@Tom, I know I'm way late to respond to you but it is stated here: api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jqXHR (
jqXHR.fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {});) Commented Feb 14, 2014 at 5:47 -
1Thanks the jQuery documentation seems to be missing this!– ShanimalCommented Feb 25, 2016 at 21:39
Here an example after looking for the same problem:
this.GetOrderList = function (customerId) {
var self = this;
$.post('MySuperServer.aspx', { customerId: customerId })
.done(function (dataStr) {
var orderList = jQuery.parseJSON(dataStr);
self.process(orderList);
})
.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, error) {
console.log("Post error: " + error);
});
}
While debugging, I've got:
- jqXHR is a JS object
- textStatus is "error"
- error is "Internal Server Error", it's the error message sent by the server.

1Yeah, I think what they're trying to connote by using the word textStatus is that this is the status variable and that it's in text format. As compared to jqXHR, which is a jQuery object. Commented Mar 16, 2015 at 17:44
errorcallback:jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown.
