        if(type == "contacts")
        {   
        ko.applyBindings(new ContactsViewModel(returnedData,"#KnockOutContacts",url,data),$("#KnockOutContacts")[0]);   
        ko.applyBindings(new ContactsViewModel(returnedData,"#ContactDetails",url,data),$("#ContactDetails")[0]);   
        }
        else if(type == "logs")
        {
        alert(returnedData);
        alert(1);
        ko.applyBindings(new LogsViewModel(returnedData,url,data),$("#KnockOutLogs")[0]);   
        }
        else if(type == "sms")
        {
            ko.applyBindings(new SmsViewModel(returnedData,"#KnockOutSmsData",url,data),$("#KnockOutSmsData")[0]);  
            ko.applyBindings(new SmsViewModel(returnedData,"#KnockOutSms",url,data),$("#KnockOutSms")[0]);  
        }
        else if(type == "calendar")
        {
        ko.applyBindings(new CalendarViewModel(returnedData,"#KnockOutCalendar",url,data),$("#KnockOutCalendar")[0]);   
        }
        else if(type == "search")
        {
        ko.applyBindings(new SearchViewModel(returnedData,"#searchbox",url,data),$("#searchbox")[0]);   
        }
        else if(type == "location")
        {
        ko.applyBindings(new LocationViewModel(returnedData,"#KnockOutMaps",url,data),$("#KnockOutMaps")[0]);   
        }
        else if(type == "photos")
        {
        ko.applyBindings(new PhotosViewModel(returnedData,"#photogallary",url,data),$("#photogallary")[0]); 
        ko.applyBindings(new PhotosViewModel(returnedData,"#PhotosDown",url,data),$("#PhotosDown")[0]); 
        }
    });
}

i bascially apply bindings when i get data but when i dont get data it doesnt go inside the success function and thats breaking my js.

You can use a global error handler:

$(document).ajaxError(function(e, xhr, settings, exception) {

});
