Question

When I click on the following code, the page moves up at the top. How can I keep the current width/ height and not move the user at the beginning of the page?

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
      $("#click").click(function() {
    //some things in here
      });
    });
</script>

Navigating to the top is the default behaviour of such a link, and can be prevented by calling e.preventDefault(), where e is the jQuery event argument:

$("#click").click(function(e) { // <-- `e` is passed to the function
    e.preventDefault();

    //some things in here
});
