Alternative to # pound sign hash tag for blank href?

Question

So, I'm working on a site at the moment that has a jquery onClick function. Well, the link is a simple href="#".

Well, every time it is clicked,

1. The # sign appends to the URL
2. The site navigates to the top of the page

Is there a better alternative, or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

In your click handler, add return false;.
