Тайм-аут XMLHttpRequest

Как я могу добавить тайм-аут к следующему сценарию? Я хочу, чтобы это отобразило текст как "Приведенный к таймауту".

var bustcachevar = 1 //bust potential caching of external pages after initial request? (1=yes, 0=no)
var loadedobjects = ""
var rootdomain = "http://" + window.location.hostname
var bustcacheparameter = ""

function ajaxpage(url, containerid) {
    var page_request = false
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
        page_request = new XMLHttpRequest()
    else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // if IE
        try {
            page_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
        } catch (e) {
            try {
                page_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
            } catch (e) {}
        }
    } else
        return false
    document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML = '<img src="load.gif" border="0"><br><br><strong>Generating Link...</strong>'
    page_request.onreadystatechange = function () {
        loadpage(page_request, containerid)
    }
    if (bustcachevar) //if bust caching of external page
        bustcacheparameter = (url.indexOf("?") != -1) ? "&" + new Date().getTime() : "?" + new Date().getTime()
    page_request.open('GET', url + bustcacheparameter, true)
    page_request.send(null)
}


function loadpage(page_request, containerid) {
    if (page_request.readyState == 4 && (page_request.status == 200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http") == -1))
        document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML = page_request.responseText
    else if (page_request.readyState == 4 && (page_request.status == 404 || window.location.href.indexOf("http") == -1))
        document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML = '<strong>Unable to load link</strong><br>Please try again in a few moments'
}
