timeouts

Configure the amount of time that a particular type of operation can execute for before they are aborted and a Timeout error is returned to the client.

If no parameters are given it returns the current timeout settings (only supported by drivers which have the W3C Webdriver protocol implemented)

Usage

1
browser.timeouts([type][,ms]);
