Error in jquery.handleErrors when using IE - ajax

Question

I use this AJAX jQuery plugin in our site. When I test it using IE, I'm getting this error ( Object doesn't support property or method 'handleError') that pertains to this line:
jQuery.handleError(s, xml, null, e);
I'm using 1.7.1 version of jQuery. How can I replace it?
Here's the full code
jQuery.extend({
createUploadIframe: function (id, uri) {
//create frame
var frameId = 'jUploadFrame' + id;
var iframeHtml = '<iframe id="' + frameId + '" name="' + frameId + '" style="position:absolute; top:-9999px; left:-9999px"';
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
if (typeof uri == 'boolean') {
iframeHtml += ' src="' + 'javascript:false' + '"';
} else if (typeof uri == 'string') {
iframeHtml += ' src="' + uri + '"';
}
}
iframeHtml += ' />';
jQuery(iframeHtml).appendTo(document.body);
return jQuery('#' + frameId).get(0);
},
createUploadForm: function (id, fileElementId, data) {
//create form
var formId = 'jUploadForm' + id;
var fileId = 'jUploadFile' + id;
var form = jQuery('<form action="" method="POST" name="' + formId + '" id="' + formId + '" enctype="multipart/form-data"></form>');
if (data) {
for (var i in data) {
jQuery('<input type="hidden" name="' + i + '" value="' + data[i] + '" />').appendTo(form);
}
}
var oldElement = jQuery('#' + fileElementId);
var newElement = jQuery(oldElement).clone();
jQuery(oldElement).attr('id', fileId);
jQuery(oldElement).before(newElement);
jQuery(oldElement).appendTo(form);
//set attributes
jQuery(form).css('position', 'absolute');
jQuery(form).css('top', '-1200px');
jQuery(form).css('left', '-1200px');

return form;

// If the type is "script", eval it in global context
if (type == "script") jQuery.globalEval(data);
// Get the JavaScript object, if JSON is used.

Answer 1

handleError was removed from jQuery in 1.5. Are you sure it's working in firefox etc.?
