Stopping the page refreshing OnClick & Jquery

JavaScript
1

Hi.

I have this bit of code


 function changeStatus(itemId)
{
	$.post("includes/processAccountInformation.php", { itemId: itemId},
              function(data)
	{
            	         alert("Return data" + data);
        	});
             return false;

}

and I use this line to fire it.

<a onclick="changeStatus(45)" href="#">
<img width="16" height="16" src="images/icons/greenflag.png">
</a>

When I click on the link the post request correctly fires but the page refreshes - how can I stop the page refreshing please.

Thanks
CHris

With “return changeStatus(45)” instead.
