Question

I’m currently using a light javascript library to make ajax calls. The library is ‘jx’.

And it works fine. But I would like to add a timeout in order to stop the ajax call if there is no response after a certain time.
I looked around and it doesn’t seems there is a timeout parameter like with jquery…

Is there a way to implement a timeout thanks to a pure javascript? Like this :

timer = setTimeout('function{stop the call}', 20000);
jx.load(url, function(data){ 
        // get the data
        clearTimeout(timer);
        }

I tried that and it’s not working well … is there an other way to do that?
Or to make the ajax call syn

If this is the library you’re using, it seems to be possible:

var xhr = jx.init();
var timer = setTimeout(function(){ 
    if(xhr && xhr.abort) xhr.abort();
}, 20000);

jx.load(url, function(data){ 
    clearTimeout(timer);
});
