This does not work much better then the previous version, but it triggers a "real" event...

  1.  
  2. /*
  3. Class: Ajax
  4.         timeout for the ajax class
  6. Options:
  7.         timeout - timeout in milliseconds; default is none
  8.         onTimeout - timeout event
  10. Author:
  11.         Stefan Lange-Hegermann
  12. */
  13.  
  14. Ajax = Ajax.extend({
  15.         options: {
  16.                 onTimeout:Class.empty
  17.         },
  18.        
  19.     request: function(){
  20.     if (this.options.timeout) {
  21.         this.timeoutTimer=window.setTimeout(this.callTimeout.bindAsEventListener(this), this.options.timeout);
  22.         this.addEvent('onComplete', this.removeTimer);
  23.     }
  24.     this.parent();
  25.     },
  26.  
  27.     callTimeout: function () {
  28.         this.transport.abort();
  29.         this.onFailure();
  30.         this.fireEvent('onTimeout');
  31.     },
  32.  
  33.     removeTimer: function() {
  34.         window.clearTimeout(this.timeoutTimer);
  35.     }
  36. });
  37.

Hi Stefan,

It looks like your request function unintentionally strips off the data payload that had been sent with the ajax request. A simple fix:

request: function(data){
if (this.options.timeout) {
    this.timeoutTimer=window.setTimeout(this.callTimeout.bindAsEventListener(this), this.options.timeout);
    this.addEvent('onComplete', this.removeTimer);
}
this.parent(data);
},
