I have a function that animates a little intro but I want to put a skip button on there so that it will load the page straight away without the intro if the person wishes to not watch this short intro. However, when I have tried to do this it does not seem to work? Here is the Javascript code:

$(document).ready(function() {
$(window).bind("unload", function() {
});

imageresize();  
aboutdisplay();
pageload();
intro();
start();


jQuery.easing.def = "easeOutElastic";

$("#bg a").click(function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
});

var $backgrounds = $('#bg li img');
var $menu_items = $('#menu li a');

$menu_items.hover(function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    var $bg = $backgrounds.eq($menu_items.index(this));
    $bg.stop(true, false).animate({opacity:"1"},500, 'linear');},
        function() {
    var $bg = $backgrounds.eq($menu_items.index(this));
    $bg.stop(true, false).delay(250).animate({opacity:"0"},750, 'linear');
});

    $("a.skip").click(function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    skip();
}); 

$("a.close2").click(function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    $("#about").animate({'top':"-1500px"},500, 'linear');

You should use .stop() with the clearQueue parameter set to true if you’re just trying to skip animations.

function skip(){
    $('#words2').stop(true).fadeOut(500, 'linear');
    $('#bg').stop(true).fadeIn(1000, 'linear');
    $('#border').stop(true).fadeIn(1000, 'linear');
    $('#border2').stop(true).fadeIn(1000, 'linear');
    $('#menu').stop(true).fadeIn(1000, 'linear');
    $('#words p').stop(true).fadeIn(1000, 'linear');
    $('#social').stop(true).fadeIn(1000, 'linear');
}

You can’t skip calls to delay() with jQuery. I suggest using native JavaScript timeouts if you need more control.
