[jQuery] Understanding $.ajaxTimeout

[jQuery] Understanding $.ajaxTimeout

Me again,
can someone please explain, how exactly does $.ajaxTimeout work? I have
tried this:
$.ajaxTimeout(5000);
Waiting for 5 seconds after a $.ajax() call to a not available server,
none of the callback methods (complete, success, error) gets called!?
BTW: where are all the $.* functions (specially the $.ajax* ones)
documented?
I have looked in http://jquery.com/api/ but I can't find no section
there. Fighting my way through the nabble archive...
Thanks, Arash
