I Broke Up With #

January 5, 2009

And I’ve been steady with javascript:; ever since.

Ever since I’ve become friends with jQuery, I’ve found that using # inside an anchor href has become occasionally overly jealous and sometimes outright psychotic. After these past incidences, which usually fall in line with using fun stuff like localScroll and scrollTo, I’ve decided to tell # to # sand, and strictly go with javascript:; inside my href.

As # works as an anchor reference point, for the top of your page, you can imagine it may get in the way of content sliders and other plugins and scripts that make use of a #’d href.
