For this, use preventDefault() in JavaScript. Following is the JavaScript code −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="urlLink">Press Me to see logs</a>
<a href="urlLink">Press Me to see logs in console</a>
<a href="#">Nothing will happen</a>
<script>
$(function(){
$("a:not([href='#'])").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
console.log("You have pressed me!!!!!");
});
});
</script>
</body>
