I don't think any of these answers are ideal. I know this is years late, but what you want to do is use the success/error callback options of the .ajax(); method when receiving a JSONP response.

Example of how I would structure this:

    // Call
    $.ajax({

      // URL you want to get
      url: 'http://example.com/json?callback=?',

      // Set a realistic time in milliseconds
      timeout: 3000,

      // Put in success callback function here, this example
      // shows you the data you got back from the call
      success: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
      },

      // Put in an error handling function, just an alert in this case
      error: function(badData) {
        alert('The call was unsuccessful');
      },

      type: 'POST'
    });
