    <p><strong>Don't remove that hash.</strong></p> <p>It's true that under (modern, at least) versions of Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari, an anchor tag with an empty href (i.e. href="", not a missing href) will display as a normal link that simply doesn't respond when clicked, unlike the hash-href which jumps to the top of the page. Internet Explorer, however, takes a different approach.</p> <p>When a link without an href is clicked in Internet Explorer, it responds by opening your Desktop directory in Windows Explorer. I got this response in IE7 and IE8 (IE6 just crashed, though that could be unrelated - I've had issues with that VM).</p> <p>If a user browses your site in IE with JavaScript disabled, do you really want all your links to open their Desktop? I think not.</p> <p>Also important is that removing the href attribute from an anchor element entirely causes it to be rendered as plain text - i.e. it doesn't act as a link, you can't tab to it, etc. Not good.</p> <hr> <p>As for controlling the behaviour of the link when clicked, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4095303/what-is-the-recommended-way-to-handle-links-that-are-used-just-for-style-and-or-i/4095330#4095330">@partoa</a> has the right, but possibly incomplete answer. </p> <p>I'm no JavaScript guru by any stretch of the imagination,but from what I've read you don't want to use <code>return false;</code> for this. According to <a href="http://fuelyourcoding.com/jquery-events-stop-misusing-return-false/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a> I came across a while ago, <code>return false;</code> has some additional behaviours you might not actually want. It recommends you just use <code>preventDefault</code> to stop the links normal behaviours (i.e. navigating to a new resource). Read over that link to see what <code>return false;</code> really does before deciding how you want to handle it.</p>

    1. COWhat a great answer, thank you for letting me know why I should use the hash instead;

    3. COActually in all cases where I have used return false, it's exactly what I intended to do. But in this case preventing default may be a better idea.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
