Image error() handler example behaves incorrectly

http://api.jquery.com/error/

The example's intention is to assign the new missing.png src ONLY if the image loads with an error.

Actual result: It seems that the example given behaves incorrectly. The image "missing.png" will be assigned to the selector's attribute regardless of whether or not the image loaded with an error.

I think the example is confusing because recent versions of IE don't show the "broken image" icons by default. The missing.png was just there to trigger the broken image behavior but that wasn't clear.

Also the page is missing an explicit note that this is deprecated and should be replaced by .on("error", fn) instead.

@dmethvin : at which version were shortcut event methods deprecated?

[dmethvin]

I'm pretty sure it was 1.9, but can't find the discussion.

[dmethvin]

Oh but it was just .load() and .error() which are strange and ambiguous.

ah, ok. thanks for that info!
