Manipulate Interstitial

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
  var href = $("#redirect_url")[0].href;
  $("a#replace_me").attr("href", href);
  $("a#replace_me").text(href);
  $("#redirect_to").hide();
});
</script>

<p>Greetings.  We are now redirecting you to the site that you requested.</p>

<p><a id="replace_me"></a></p>

<p>Have a great day!</p>

A quick jQuery tutorial:

$(document).ready 

runs when all the elements on the page have loaded.

  var href = $("#redirect_url")[0].href;

gets the first element whose ID is "redirect_url" and gets the "href" attribute.  Since it's an <a> tag the href attribute is the URL.

  $("a#replace_me").attr("href", href);

sets the "href" attribute of the <a id="replace_me"> tag to the variable href.

  $("a#replace_me").text(href);

sets the text of the <a id="replace_me"> tag to the variable href.  The text is what's inside the <a> tags.  <a>This is the text</a>

  $("#redirect_to").hide();

hides the <p id="redirect_to"> tag

As a note, if you use the Firefox browser you can use the Firebug plugin (http://getfirebug.com/) to easily view the elements of the interstitial page and execute JavaScript on the page directly.
