What about using the success callback of the JSONP call to initiate the
location.href? Something like:
$('a').click(function() {
var href = $(this).attr('href');
$.ajax({
url: 'http://example.com/jsonpmethod?callback=?',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(data) {
// do whatever with json encoded data
location.href = href;
}
});
return false;
});
