How to set JQuery's effect for normal link

Hi,

I would like to apply some JQuery's effects(fadeIn,fadeOut) in my site while page is loading. So i tried below code.when i clicking normal request,code is working fine <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){     $('body').hide().fadeIn('fast');     $('a').click(function(){         var link = $(this).attr('href');         $('body').fadeOut('fast', function(){             window.location.href = link;         });         return false;     }); }); </script>

But i had problem only when i clicking ajax link. So i planned to avoid above effects for ajax request.

How to set above effects only for normal request ?

Ajax links (via link_to_remote) at least in Rails 2.x set an inline onclick handler. So either modify your code above to not override those inline handlers or modify JQuery's ajax setup to apply your animations to ajax links as well (perhaps in the beforeSend callback).

well you have to use link_to_function method see on http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/JavaScriptHelper.html#M002237

its is similar to link_to_remote ajax in ror you also shuold have jrails working in your view

<%= link_to_function("Avoid Ajax Call", nil, :id => "more_link") do | page>     page.select('body').hide     page[:details].visual_effect :fadeOut     # your smoe other effect   end %>
