kindly use

<a href="#"></a>

This should solve your issue.

since the HREF may also be used to identify sections within a document, the HREF contains two components: the URL, which is the actual link, and the clickable text that appears on the page, called the "anchor text."

you could use 

<a href="#idOfTheAnchorText"></a>

or 

href="javascript:void(0);"

which essentially means that a void do nothing since evaluation of 0 using void calculates to undefined primitive value.

Standard practice way of declaring empty href would be to use href="#" or href="javascript:void(0);"

Explanation:

href="#" it's a simple and quick fix, but adds an extra entry to the browser history when clicked.

<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="arrow">Link</a> explicitly add a null-effect href attribute, so when clicked it doesn't have any effect and also does't mess with the browser history.
