Oh - sorry about that, something like this: $.ajaxTimeout( 5000 ); $.ajax({ url: "doesnotexist.html", error: function( req, msg ) { if ( msg == "timeout" ) alert( "Connection to server lost." ); } }); I'm realizing now that I pass the message in to the second argument - it should be the first. I'll change that in a later version, but it's nothing major. Hope that helps. --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
