jQuery getJSON with timeout

When making a call out to the yahoo web service (http://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch) to return a data set, is it possible to set a timeout and exit the routine once its elapsed?

jQuery.getJSON("http://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch/...etc",
        function (data) {
              //result set here
            });

 $.ajax({ 
  url: url, 
  dataType: 'json', 
  data: data, 
  success: callback, 
  timeout: 3000 //3 second timeout, 
  error: function(jqXHR, status, errorThrown){   //the status returned will be "timeout" 
     //do something 
  } 
});
