Prevent an External JS from being used if it doesn't load quickly

[T1M]

Hello,
I was wondering if any one can help me with a buggy external Javascript. I am running an included javascript that uses "document.write" to print a series of news items (general syndicated news, like Moreover) but sometimes it won't load. I would like to add a javascript timer so that if the source js won't load, the browser will stop trying to request it.

In my page I have:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;Javascript&quot; SRC='

http://dm.trapezo.com:80/'></SCRIPT>

but, if this won't load in a timely manner, I would like the browser to stop trying...

Thanks in advance,

T1m
