rollover image acts like an anchor

In Dreamweaver MX2004, I inserted a rollover image following instructions in
"help," and the code below was generated. But when previewing it, the image
rolls over, but also a hand appears and clicking on it takes one to the top of
the page. Can you see anything wrong in the code? Thank you!

<p><a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('horn','','images/horn_r2_c2overf2.gif',1)"><img
src="images/horn_r2_c2.gif" name="horn" width="214" height="26" border="0"
id="horn" /></a></p>

If all you want to do is keep the link from jumping back to the top, you just
have to add '; return false;' after the closing parentheses of the javascript
statement (but still inside the ending "). This tells the browser to ignore
the link (# is a link to the top of the page) as long as the javascript
executes.

If you want to get rid of the link action altogether, you just need to apply
the mouseover action to a different element--like a <span> that encloses the
image--and get rid of the link.
