How do I avoid a scroll when removing or creating DOM elements?

[Rubikzube]

I have JavaScript functions on my page that insert and remove DOM
elements, and it's causing the browser to rescroll to the top of the
window. I was wondering what the cause of the behavior is and if
there is a smooth workaround.

The rescroll is happening after the insertion function, and using a
setTimeout is just making the page shake.

<a href="#"
onclick="function_to_insert();
return false;">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

don't forget the 'return false' in your JS call
to avoid html link fires
