How do I make a link that goes nowhere?

Question

Is it possible to make a link that does nothing?

I want the item to be a link so I get the cursor to change on mouseover, but I don\'t want the link to actually go anywhe

Answer 1

I was looking for something simpler, and I think I found it. Do you want your link not to go anywhere? Omit the href.

Some text

href="#" will scroll to the top of the page.

href="javascript:;" seems dodgy.

A JavaScript solution seems unnecessary for something as simple.
