really simple javascript question

Here is a link I have on my page:

<a href="#" onClick="hide('rateLayer')">click here</a>

I use it to call a javascript function, but it allows has another effect. The link is on the bottom of a page so when it is clicked, the href="#" causes the page to scroll back up to the top.

Can someone show me how to re-write the link so this doesn't happen? I think you can do href="javascript:" or something like that.

Thanks!

You could try some code like this:

<a href=javascript:hide('rateLayer')>click here</a>

Hope that helps.

Here are some methods to making a dead link:

<a href="javascript:void(null)">
<a href="javascript:void(0);">
<a href="javascript://">
<a href="thisPartDoesntMatter" onclick="return false">
