How to exclude JQuery/Javascript fade in & out function on certain links? -

i'm using fade in , out jquery/javascript effect on site have each page fade in , out when link clicked. it's working great when link clicked leads different page, causing problems when link leads different part of page (such top link), when mailto link clicked, , when link suppose open in new page or tab clicked. when these type of links clicked lead blank white page because don't lead new page. here script:

$(document).ready(function() {      //fades body     $("body").fadein(1500);      //applies every link     $("a").click(function(event){         event.preventdefault();         linklocation = this.href;         $("body").fadeout(1000, redirectpage);           });      //redirects page     function redirectpage() {         window.location = linklocation;     } }); 

because of i'm trying figure out if there way can exclude fade in/out function links (such top link), don't know how it. know rather set links fade in/out can set fade in/out effect specific class way doesn't effect every link. because site rather large, extremely tedious , difficult add class every link. rather i'm wondering if theres way define no-fade class exclude fade in/out function? way apply class these few links having problems , make links behave normally.

it seems simple thing do, because i'm still not fluent in javascript/jquery don't know how it. appreciated!

*edit: here solution incase else has similar issue. david missing piece!

$(document).ready(function() {      //fades body     $("body").fadein(1500);      //applies every link except .no-fade class     $("a").not(".no-fade").click(function(event){         event.preventdefault();         linklocation = this.href;         $("body").fadeout(1000, redirectpage);           });      //redirects page     function redirectpage() {         window.location = linklocation;     } }); 

yup, indeed define class when applied anchor exclude performaing fade out , redirect.

so if had anchor wanted default fade-out behaviour apply leave is.if didn't want behaviour apply class (we'll call *no-fade") anchor.

html

<a href="http://mysite.com/anotherpage">another page</a> <a href="http://mysite.com#backtotop" class="no-fade">back top</a> 

jquery

<script type="text/javascript>      $(document).ready(function() {          $("body").fadein(1500);          $("a").not(".no-fade").click(function(event){             event.preventdefault();             linklocation = this.href;             $("body").fadeout(1000, redirectpage);               });          // redirects page         function redirectpage() {             window.location = linklocation;         }     });  </script> 

the thing i've edited code selection of anchors changed from:

$("a") 

to

$("a").not(".no-fade")
