[jQuery] Cycle Plugin - Pager and link to new page

[Beasty]

I have got existing markup for my pager (see below).
How can i get the links working (got to the "href"-page) by clicking
on them? It does not work right now.. It seems, that the
pagerAnchorBulding prevents the default event?
Please help.

<ul id="newsticker">
<li><a href="1.htm"><img src="a" /><h3>header</h3></a></li>
<li><a href="2.htm"><img src="b" /><h3>header</h3></a></li>
 ...
</ul>

 using this cycle setup:
$('#slideshow').cycle({
        fx:     'fade',
        speed:  1000,
        timeout: 3000,
        pagerEvent:   'mouseover',
        pager:  '#newsticker',
        pagerAnchorBuilder: function(idx, slide) {
         //  return sel string for existing anchor
           return '#newsticker li:eq(' + (idx) + ') a ';
       }

    });
