 >>What does the "return" statement stand for?

If the function returns false, the event will be canceled.
Use it for instance in a submit button for some validation function.
If validation fails, return false, and the submit is canceled.

In the previous example, the link to the top of the current page will be 
canceled,
so the scrolled position won't change.
