Timeout in JQuery $ .post by emulating $ .ajax

$.POST

is a pre-installed version $.ajax

, so several parameters are already set.

Essentially, a $.POST

equals

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});

      

        
        
        
      

    

But you can create your own submit function to send the request through $.ajax

at last.

Here is a custom POST plugin that I just coded.

(function( $ ){
  $.myPOST = function( url, data, success, timeout ) {      
    var settings = {
      type : "POST", //predefine request type to POST
      'url'  : url,
      'data' : data,
      'success' : success,
      'timeout' : timeout
    };
    $.ajax(settings)
  };
})( jQuery );

      

        
        
        
      

    

The custom POST function is now ready

Using:

$.myPOST(
    "test.php", 
    { 
      'data' : 'value'
    }, 
    function(data) { },
    5000 // this is the timeout   
);

      

        
        
        
      

    

Enjoy :)
