 Replying to [comment:4 scribu]:
 > Good observation, yet it works, because they're automatically translated
 into absolute URLs in JavaScript land.

 Yes and no, depending on what you're getting and the client you're doing
 it in.

 Yes in IE--you get the full path. But in Firefox it depends:
  * The href ''property'' of the target has the full path.
  * But the "href" ''attribute'' has its actual value, here not absolute.

 In this case

 `jQuery(ev.target).attr('href')`

 is equivalent to

 `ev.target.getAttribute('href') // relative path`

 not

 `ev.target.href // absolute path`
