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.
