I trying to wrap my head around setTimeout, but I can't get it to work properly.

I have set up an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/timkl/Fca2n/

I want a text to countdown after an anchor is clicked - but my setTimeout seems to fire at the same time, even though I've set the delay to 1 sec.

This is my HTML:

<a href="#">Click me!</a>



<span id="target"></span>

This is my JS:

$(document).ready(function() {





function foo(){



    writeNumber = $("#target");

    

    setTimeout(writeNumber.html("1"),1000);

    setTimeout(writeNumber.html("2"),1000);

    setTimeout(writeNumber.html("3"),1000);

    };



$('a').click(function() {

 foo();

});



});
