I am making an ajax call to a php file on my server.

That php file retrieves some info from various websites, so an ajax call can take 30 seconds to complete in the worst case.

All I want to do is to set a timeout value for the ajax call and to trigger a function when timeout is reached.

I think jQuery .complete is what I am looking for since it is called in any case but how to detect if it is called on timeout?

    Actually, you can use .error for that instead of .complete.

    error(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
    

    textStatus will be “timeout”.
