Syntax
HRESULT value = object.put_timeout( v);HRESULT value = object.get_timeout(* p);
Property values
Type: long
the number of milliseconds that the browser is to wait for a server response. Default value is 0.
Remarks
Note The IHTMLXMLHttpRequest2::timeout property has a default value of 0.
If the time-out period expires, the IHTMLXMLHttpRequest::responseText property will be NULL.
You should set a time-out value that is slightly longer than the expected response time of the request.
The IHTMLXMLHttpRequest2::timeout property may be set only in the time interval between a call to the IHTMLXMLHttpRequest::open method and the first call to the IHTMLXMLHttpRequest::send method.
If you set an XMLHttpRequest time-out value that is larger than the network stack's time-out value, the network stack will time out first and the ontimeout event will not be raised.
Examples
The following example sets the IHTMLXMLHttpRequest2::timeout property.
var xhr;
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", url, true);
xhr.timeout = 10000;
xhr.ontimeout = timeoutFired;
xhr.send(null);
