When I want some link to not do anything but only respond to javascript actions what\'s the best way to avoid the link scrolling to the top edge of the page ?

I tend to prefer using return false, as that gives the option to give the user a choice whether to continue that action, such as shown here, in quirksmode:

It's simple, it's old, but it works well, cross-browser, regardless of the version of javascript.
