href= javascript: jquery not working in FF

I have an anchor that triggers a javascript which uses jquery:

<a href="javascript: $('#dash-main').load('billing.php')">text</a>

This anchor works fine in Chrome, and even in IE, but when I use it in FF, the browsers redirects to "http://javascript: $('#dash-main').load('billing.php')".

Any idea what is wrong?

Did you try returning false?

<a href="javascript: $('#dash-main').load('billing.php'); return false;">text</a>

Use onclick and avoid the problem:

<a href="#" onclick="$('#dash-main').load('billing.php');return false;">text</a>

Why not use: 

<a href="#" onclick="$('#dash-main').load('billing.php')">text</a>

Cross-browser compatible!
