I use
href="javascript:void(0)"
to disable the href property and then use onlclick to give functionality to my anchor elements. How can I do this programatically.
A few issues if I may.
I would suggest an unobtrusive approach
I would not use return false. It could have unexpected results. A quick google search will have more info.
Use preventDefault() to remove the default functionality.

Edit:
If you’re unsure how to control the click event unobtrusively, addEventListener() is what you are after. You can control everything from there, including preventDefault()
