jquery click on anchor element forces scroll to top?

Question

jQuery hyperlinks - href value? text][1]

I am running in to a problem using jquery and a click event attached to an anchor element. [1]: jQuery hyperlinks - href

Answer 1

$("#id_of_anchor").click(function(event) { 
  // ...
  return false;
}

Answer 2

just lose the

href="#"

In the a html tag... that's what causing the web page to "jump up".

<a id="id_of_anchor"> link text </a>

and remember to add

cursor: pointer;

to your a's css so it will look like a link on mouseover.

Good luck.
