[jQuery] Ajax Timeout Usage

[jQuery] Ajax Timeout Usage


Question for the Group.
When using jQuery Ajax functionality, how does the timeout work? Does
the timeout start when the function is called or when the browser
starts the request?
example: (not jquery code)
var a = get(pageA)
var b = get(pageB)
var c = get(pageC)
var c = get(pageD)
var e = get(pageE)
var f = get(pageF)
var g = get(pageG)
And lets say that I have a 5 second timeout for each. This will queue
up all the requests in the browser at once, but the browser can only
execute a couple at a time. If they take a while to load, the
timeouts would expire on the last couple before the browser has a
chance to execute them.
So basicly, does the timeout start when the browser executes request
or when the jQuery call is made?
