WebDeveloper.com - Load time

I tried to apply it into my script but im affraid my js is to poor... I've searched the internet for setTimeout('handler',timeDelay) and I found (i could be wrong) that the code should look something like this:

<a href="#" onClick="setTimeout('window.OPENSOMETHING',2000)">open</a>

Only i can't figure out how to put it in to my scrip/define it.

This is my script:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body>

<div id="ball" style="position:absolute;"><img src="ball.gif"></div>
<a href="javascript: moveit(400, 100)">About</a> <a href="javascript: moveit(500, 100)">news</a> <a href="javascript: moveit(610, 100)">Sitemap</a> <a href="javascript: moveit(720, 100)">Contact</a>
<br> <a href="javascript: moveit(140, 192)">Why ADF</a>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
step = 1;

startX = 100;
startY = 200;

currentX = startX;
currentY = startY;

function initialize()
{
//Start positions
document.getElementById("ball").style.left = startX;
document.getElementById("ball").style.top = startY;
}

function moveit(x, y)
{
if (currentX < x)
{
document.getElementById("ball").style.left = currentX + step;
currentX = currentX + step;
}

if (currentX > x)
{
document.getElementById("ball").style.left = currentX - step;
currentX = currentX - step;
}

//-----

if (currentY < y)
{
document.getElementById("ball").style.top = currentY + step;
currentY = currentY + step;
}

if (currentY > y)
{
document.getElementById("ball").style.top = currentY - step;
currentY = currentY - step;
}

if ( (currentX != x) || (currentY != y)) setTimeout("moveit("+x+","+y+")",1);

}

initialize();
</script>

</body>
</html>

I want to let the script work like this: When i click on a link. the image move's from point a to point b. (This works thanks to BestZest). Only now i want to put in a delay of 2 seconds ands let him open a real page. So for example: I click on a link the image moves and with the same click it opens a page.

So I click on the link 'About'
This executes the javascript (image slide) and 2 seconds later it opens the page about.html

Thanks again all readers of this form for helping me out.
