Thanks for the reply Ricardo. I realize it's unusual to make the user wait.. but it basically comes down to an esthetic aspect for which i would normally use Flash. In short: I want to create a transition from the so-called splash page, which basically is white with a logo in the center and the adress info, to the main overal site, which is black. Normally if I were building the entire site in flash I would fade or ease out the logo and create a transition from white to black and build up the new page. But I'm not building it in Flash so now it would be the white splash page.. users would click on enter and go to the main site which was black. I wanted a smoother transition for this and since I'm not building the site in Flash it's useless to use it for just the transition. So I thought maybe I could use jQuery and create the transition effect and afterwards guide the user to the main site.
I'll stick with location.href thanks for the input!
