[jQuery] Re: intercepting links and adding a short animation before executing them

[Smith, Allex]

I think this is a bad idea from a usability standpoint... But...

Untested Code:
$('a').click(function(){
    var hrefLoc = $(this).attr('href');
    $('body').fadeOut("slow",function(){
        window.location = hrefLoc;
    });
    return false;
});

Might be a better way to do it, here you go.

Subject: [jQuery] intercepting links and adding a short animation before
executing them



hello guys,

the title tells it all really: intercepting links and adding a short
animation before executing them

this might be the most amateur question for tonight - however an answer
would be very appreciated.

example:

i have a simple navigation in an unordered list. i want to make the page
i am on fade away in a smooth short animation before the onclick- event
is actually executed.

thanks in advance for any help.
