What do you need it for?

Timeouts are always a potential accessibility problem, because you cannot 
know how fast people are reading, typing and clicking. If you have low 
vision, or a motoric handicap, then having a message box with a timeout 
is a real obstacle.

Is there no other solution rather than a timeout?
