[jQuery] Re: $.ajax() timeout

[Josh Nathanson]

"timeout" is actually how long the request will wait to complete before it 
sends back a timeout error.  You actually want setTimeout, like so.  This 
will wait five seconds before doing the ajax request.

var t = setTimeout( function() {
              $.ajax({
                  type: "GET",
                    url: "myurl.com",
                  beforeSend: function() {
                      $("#adminToolsListingA .scroll").html("");
                     $("#adminToolsListingA .ajaxLoading").show();
                 },
                 success: function(html) {
                      $("#adminToolsListingA .ajaxLoading").hide();
                      $("#adminEditListingA .scroll").html(html);
                   }
               });
           }, 5000 );

Subject: [jQuery] $.ajax() timeout



I seem to not be understanding how the ajax timeout works, because it
does not seem to work how I thought.

I was hope it would delay the ajax request, for the number of
miliseconds that is specified, but that does not seem to be working.
Is the timeout used for something different?  Or is there a different
way to delay an ajax request for a few seconds?

Using:

               $.ajax({
                   type: "GET",
    timeout: 5000,
                   url: "myurl.com",
                   beforeSend: function() {
                       $("#adminToolsListingA .scroll").html("");
                       $("#adminToolsListingA .ajaxLoading").show();
                   },
                   success: function(html) {
                       $("#adminToolsListingA .ajaxLoading").hide();
                       $("#adminEditListingA .scroll").html(html);
                   }
               });
