HTML

<ul id="tabnav">

        <li id="tab_a" class="tab1"><a href="tab1.htm">Tab a</a></li>
        <li id="tab_b" class="tab2"><a href="tab2.htm">Tab b</a></li>
        <li id="tab_c" class="tab3"><a href="tab3.htm">Tab c</a></li>
    </ul>

document.getElementById("tab_c").childNodes[0].onclick = function() {return false;};

Try this:

C#

$("#li2 a").click(function(e) {
        // disable the default behavior 
        e.preventDefault();
    });

Refer: http://api.jquery.com/event.preventdefault/[^]
