fadeOut (and similar) are implemented in terms of the setTimeout() function, which comes built-in to browser-side JS engines. Once code is sent to the setTimeout() queue, there is no way for client code (that is, our code) to mess with it. It is fire and forget, so to say. Therefore there is no way for jQuery (nor any other pure JS library) to directly manipulate code running via setTimeout(). One option is to re-implement fadeOut() with a custom function, and have that custom function check some sort of flag on each iteration. If that flag is in place (which you can set in your click handler) then you can abort or change the fade-out process. i'm not at all recommending that this behaviour be put into jQuery itself, as it is much too use-case-specific, but it would be one option for solving your problem.
