I have a link on page <a href="#"... which linked with jquery function. After link was clicked the page scrolled to the top and this seems unnecessary behavior. Is there a way to prevent scrolling?

  • Yes. Use `event.preventDefault();` – Ionut Jan 04 '17 at 14:15

You can prevent following of # by selecting them and using event.preventDefault():

$(function () {
  $('a[href="#"]').click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
  });
})

On click of your button you can prevent the default action using preventDefault():

 $('a[href="#"]').on('click', function(event) {
   event.preventDefault();
   console.log('default action prevented');
 });
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a href='#'>Button</a>
