That is happening because you have href="#", your options are to remove href="#" (valid HTML5) or add the below javascript inside your click event:

e.preventDefault();

  • I have already added preventDefault()

  • You should move it higher up so it's the first line inside the click event. Or remove the href.

  • I would also recommend using .on rather than delegate > .delegate() has been deprecated. It was superseded by the .on() method since jQuery 1.7

  • Yes, if you remove the href it no longer occurs. Or even better, change the element so it is no longer an <a> tag. If you aren't linking anywhere it doesn't make sense to be an anchor element.
