JS driven links for navigation

Hey guys,

I am working on a site which has a few pages with “jquery tools tabs” implemented. In my site wide navigation I am linking certain tabs on each page to become the active tab. I am currently using the following format — href=”pageName.html#active_tab_id”. This works fine except there is a page jump as expected when using jump links. My problem is that I need to keep the page from jumping at the top. I have tried some combinations of onclick with return false; and other js page link options without success. Below is how the page works:

Navigation drop down link:

[code=html]<a href=”pageName.html#active_Tab_id” onClick=”top.location=this.href;return false;”>Nav Link</a>[/code]

This links to the page:

pageName.html#active_Tab_id and jumps down to the top of the tab contents named #active_Tab_id.

I need it to open to the page with the tab contents named #active_Tab_id and stay navigated at the top of the page.

I was trying to think of a way to inject the url into the html link through an array and function.

I may have this wrong but the array would like something like this:

[code=html]var activeTab = [];
activeTab[active_Tab_id] = pageName.html#active_Tab_id’;
activeTab[active_Tab_id2] = pageName.html#active_Tab_id2′;
activeTab[active_Tab_id3] = pageName.html#active_Tab_id3′;
[/code]

As for the function, well I am a little lost on how to build it to connect to a html link.

Any help would be great.
