I'm using ajaxSetup to handle all errors generally:

$.ajaxSetup({
    error: handleErrors
});

var handleErrors = function(xhr) {
    console.log('this is ');
    console.log(this);
};

In this case, this is the global scope.

However, if I have an indiviudal error handler for each call:

$.ajax({
    error: function(xhr){
        console.log('this is ');
        console.log(this);
    },  
    ...

The this is the ajax request that was sent, with url, type, contentType etc. How would I get access to that information in my general handleErrors function? So if it fails, I know specifically the request that has failed?

JQuery documentation advises to use ajaxError for this.

You can attach a function handler to it with the following options:

handler

Type: Function( Event event, jqXHR jqXHR, PlainObject ajaxSettings, String thrownError )

jqXHR will be your XHR object. While the thrownError will be the error message.

As of jQuery 1.8 it's mandatory to attach this function to the document only.
