[rkhedekar]

I am using IE 8 and CROSS I am not able to get error message in case any API call fails. I also tried returning JSON results.

Here are complete request and response objects. How to get Error message in this case.

I believe an an error case, the response body will only be treated as text/plain. Can you see that text when you inspect the jqXHR.responseText property in your complete callback?
