body: <p>How to implement a gmail-like "this is taking too long" <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Logging-In-en/msg/f141e964f1d72147" rel="noreferrer">warning message</a> using <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax" rel="noreferrer">jQuery Ajax API</a>?</p>
  
  <p>For those who have never seen this message on gmail, it appears when the 'signing in' process takes too long for completion, and then some solutions are suggested.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using jQuery Ajax on my website and I want to warn users when page loading is very slow and then suggest some solutions (a link to refresh the page, or to a help page, for example).</p>
