title: I want to delay a link for a period of 500 with javascript
body: <p>I've been looking through the Stackoverflow questions, trying to get help with a simple link delay; I want to put it around a div, and I can't make heads or tails of the examples I've found.</p>
  
  <p>So far, I understand that I need to halt the native function of href, but I don't know how to do that. The code is still very alien to me. Help?</p>
