page jumps when clicking link

How can I prevent the page from jumping to the top when I click on a link? Is this the return false fix that is needed or something else? Thanks.

There are a few ways you can do null links. One is to use an octothorpe
(#). However, browsers interpret the octothorpe as meaning 'Jump to this
location'. If there's something after it - #mylocation - it jumps there;
if there isn't, or <a name="mylocation></a> doesn't exist on the page, it
jumps to the top of the page.

Change the null links to javascript:; (the word "javascript" followed by a
colon : and a semicolon and the problem will go away.
