deferred.fail( failCallbacks ) ExamplesObjects  <<  Top

Add handlers to be called when the Deferred object is rejected.

In the example below when we press the left button the first time we create a Deferred object and use some deferred object methods on it. We then resolve the Deferred object and hence deferred.done( doneCallbacks ) gets called with the message passed from the resolve.

When we press the right button the first time we create a Deferred object and use some deferred object methods on it. We then reject the Deferred object and hence deferred.fail( failCallbacks ) gets called with the message passed from the reject.


$(function(){
  $('#btn5').one('click', function(){
    var ourDeferred = $.Deferred();
    ourDeferred.done( cFunc );
    ourDeferred.fail( dFunc );
    ourDeferred.progress( cFunc, dFunc );
    ourDeferred.notify( 'function was fired from our deferred. <br>', '#div1');
    ourDeferred.resolve( 'Our deferred was resolved. <br> <br>', '#div1' );
  });
