$(selector).error(function)
Triggering of error event for some selected elements:
$(selector).error()
Parameter:
- function: This parameter is optional and it specifies the function to be run when the error event occurs.
Example 1:

< script src =
</ script >
< script >
$(document).ready(function () {
$("img").error(function () {
$("img").replaceWith(
"< h3 >Error occurs</ h3 >");
});
});
</ script >
</ head >
< body >
< center >
