Is it possible to check timeout on jQuery.post()?

Question

I have this code requesting some folder info from a mysql DB:

function gotoDir(pmcat_id, pcat_id){
    $(\'#slideshowContainer\').html(\'

        

Answer 1

You should use $.ajax() and $.ajaxError(), then with "ajaxComplete" you can check if your request timedout, or succeded.
