Buttons and Dynamic Actions

Question

When triggering a dynamic action from a button, I'd like to prevent the page from submitting. Following the advice from earlier threads, I have set the button to redirect to a URL. But since the dynamic action will be performing all the required actions, I'd like the URL invoked by the button to do nothing.
What is the best practice for allowing the button to do no more than initiate the DA?
Thank you

Edit: Alternatively; instead of triggering the DA using an "onclick" event on the button, can I invoke the DA by naming it as the target URL. That would be the preferred solution I think.

Thank you very very much Little Foot.
Coincidentally, I just read earlier today an answer from Anthony Rayner to an unrelated question which mentioned this neat solution in passing. After hours of trawling through W3 schools in vain...
