The user pre-configures a timeout by which he wants the javascript
execution to have ended, that's what I'm trying to implement.

It's definitely there now.

No, you can just put an alert('hello') in, at least on my Nexus S
4.0.4.

I'd prefer to use the default implementation, but I guess if I can't
solve the problem I could
implement the dialogs myself, thanks for the tip.

I tried putting a JS setTimeout() at the start of the script BTW but
alerts seem to take over the timer.

p.s. I'm not a JS programmer if that's not obvious :-)
