Thanks guys, I got rid of the function and using this.
$('a.respond').bind('click', function() {
$(this).prev('div').block('<h1>Please <a href=\"login\">Login</
a> to submit your opinion.</a></h1>',{ border: '3px solid #a00'});
return false;
});
so wouldnt I need to chain the settimeout onto this and set it to call
the function $.unblockUI?
