> ah .... and there is no way to simulate that?
You can simulate a timeout in your code by using setTimeout, but it's not the same as when the XHR is used for the request. With XHR jQuery can invoke the abort fn to cancel the request. There is no such option for the jsonp script injection method. So you can not close the connection or do anything particularly useful other than assume your timeout is being called because the request failed. But then you're only guessing, and the response may return the moment after you time it out.
