jQuery Forum

I'm very new to jQuery and need some help!

Problem #1

I have a splash page which I want to fade in, wait for 3 seconds before fading out and then redirecting to the homepage. I've managed to get it to fade in and out onclick, but I want it to happen automatically after 3 seconds regardless of what the user does.

Problem #2

Using the same script I have working for the splash page, I've got all my other pages to fade in and out as I navigate around the site. Unfortunately, I sometimes get a flash of the page before it disappears and fades in. Any way to fix this?

Problem #3

A couple of the links on my site are supposed to open in new windows, but the jQuery fade script has stopped this.

Problem #4

If the user clicks on the browsers back button, the page is faded out (because that's what it did before leaving it), is there any way to get it to fade back in?

I think that's all the issues I have right now.

The web link is... 

Not all the links work yet as I want to sort these issues out before I carry on adding content.

Thanks in advance!
