.post() failure callback function?

In the documentation for the .post() method, there's a callback function for when the request is successful, but is there a similar method to tell if the request was a failure?

The $.post() which is a utility function built on top of $.ajax() returns a promise object which has a fail handler that can used to handle failure cases

$.post(url, yourdata, function(){
    //success handler
}).fail(function(){
    //fail handler
}).done(function(){
   //more success handlers if you want
})

Yes, use .fail: 

$.post("test.php", function(data) {
    alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
})
.fail(function() { 
    alert("error"); 
})
