I have various links which all have unique id's that are "pseudo-anchors." I want them to affect the url hash value and the click magic is all handled by some mootools code. However, when I click on the links they scroll to themselves (or to the top in one case). I don't want to scroll anywhere, but also need my javascript to execute and to have the hash value in the url update.
Simulated sample code:
<a href="#button1" id="button1">button 1</a>
<a href="#button2" id="button2">button 2</a>
<a href="#" id="reset">Home</a>
So if you were to click on the "button 1" link, the url could be http://example.com/foo.php#button1
Does anyone have any ideas for this? Simply having some javascript return void kills the scrolling but also kills my javascript (though I could probably work around that with an onclick) but more importantly, prevents the hash value in the url to change.
I'm probably missing something, but why not just give them different IDs?
<a href="#button1" id="button-1">button 1</a>
<a href="#button2" id="button-2">button 2</a>
<a href="#" id="reset">Home</a>
Or whatever convention you'd prefer.
