[jQuery] Re: Using a button that doesn't submit?

[Rick Faircloth]

I tried inserting a "return false;" into my jQuery below,
but it prevented the button from functioning as it needs.

Here's the jQuery:

                $(document).ready(function() {
                        $('#add-image').click(function() {
                                $('#image-next').clone(true).
                                attr('name', function() {
                                        return this.name.replace(/(.+)(\d+$)/, 
function(s, p1, p2) {
                                                return p1 + (parseInt(p2, 10) + 
1);
                                        })
                                })
                                .insertAfter('#image-div :last');
                        });
                });

And here's the button HTML:

<button id="add-image">Add New Image Field</button>

Got any ideas on how I could modify this?

I was using a link to add the file fields, but the link
was refreshing the page and taking me back to the top of the page.
