Page jumps to top when click on link

Question

Hello everyone!!
I remember seeing a behavior for dreamweaver 8 that stops
page jump. I have picture links on my pages that bring up a 600pix
X 600pix picture and when it does, the page that you are curently
on jumps to the top. This makes it anoying because you have to
scroll back down to where you were. Can someone tell me what tis
behavior is or give me a link? Thanks!!!

Look at your link, you should have something like:
<a href="#" onclick="somefunction(stuff here,and here too
may be)">Your link
text</a>
As Murray said you need to include a "return false" statement
in there, but
the way he wrote it may confuse you. You don't put it within
the "href"
value itself but with *onclick*.
Like this:
<a href="#" onclick="somefunction(stuff here,and here may
be);return
false">Your link text</a>

It talks about the use of "null links".
