[jQuery] Postpone Link action

[jQuery] Postpone Link action


Hi all,
Quick question.regarding jquery. I want to create a transition out,
whenever anyone clicks on a link on a page, so ned to capture the
href, show the transition then go to that page.
I've seen some methods of delaying using fake transitions and also
setTimeout, but despite searching quite a lot, I'm unsure how to pass
the href as a parameter to those functions. Could anyone point me in
the right direction?
This is roughly what I'm doing
    $("a").click(function(){
        targetURL = this.href;
        $("div.box").hide("slow");
goAfterDelay(this.href); // pseudo code for what
i need to achieve
        return false;
    }
Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Kevin
