[jQuery] Click event for anchor tag goes to url in href attribute

[cnu]

Hi,
I have an anchor tag like <a href="/foo" class="delete" id="1">delete</
a>
I have attached a click event to the tag which does a POST request to
the url by doing

$("a.delete").click(function () {
   $.post(url, {"id":id}, function(data){
      console.log(data.msg);
    });
});

The POST request goes throught, but after that - a GET request goes to
the server because of the link click.

Is there any way to solve this? Is this the right way to do it?
