## `ic-on-error` - JQuery AJAX Request life cycle attribute

### Summary

This attribute is a javascript expression that will be evaluated after an erroneous AJAX request is completed on behalf of Intercooler. It corresponds to the `error` property in JQuery's `ajax()` method.

### Syntax

This attribute is a valid javascript expression, evaluated within an isolated scope.

This attribute may be placed on parent elements, allowing you to specify behavior across multiple elements.

Available symbols are:

- `status` - Possible values (besides null) are "timeout", "error", "abort", and "parsererror"
- `str` - Textual portion of the HTTP status, such as "Not Found" or "Internal Server Error."
- `xhr` - The XHR object

The `ic-on-error` can be placed on an parent element, allowing general request processing for an entire page. Intercooler will find the closest element with this attribute and evaluate it.
