Telerik grid column command , add to url # on click - kendo-ui

Question

I have this telerik grid in a asp.net mvc project
<div class="actualGrid" id="actualGrid">
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<AVNO_KPMG.Models.Bench>() //Bench Grid
.Name("grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.name).Title("Bench").Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.Operator("startswith"))).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.freeSeats).Title("Free Seats").Width(200).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.Operator("gte"))).HtmlAttributes(new { #class = "FreeSeats" })
.ClientTemplate("<div class='barthingy'><div class='bars_text'><div class='seatsText'><span class=\"bookNotfull\"></span> <b>#=bookedSeats#</b> USED SEATS</div><div class='seatsText'><span class=\"bookfull\"></span> <b>#=freeSeats#</b> TOTAL OFSEATS</div></div><div id='bigbar'><div class='bigbar' style='width:100%; float:left; background-color:rgb(142, 188, 0);'><div ' style='float:right; width:#=bookedSeats *100 / seatsCount#%; background-color:rgb(255, 99, 71); height:16px ' class='b_#=name#' id='temp-log'></div></div></div></div>");
//buttons
columns.Command(command => { command.Custom("checkBench1 ").Text(" AM ").Click("doCheckIn"); command.Custom("checkBench 2").Text(" PM ").Click("doCheckIn"); command.Custom("checkBench3").Text("All Day").Click("doCheckIn"); }).HtmlAttributes(new { #class = "comms#=freeSeats# freeAM#=seatsCount - (bookings_am + bookings_allday)# freePM#=seatsCount - (bookings_pm + bookings_allday)# freeALLDAY#=freeSeats#" }).Title("Check in").Width(200);
})
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable(scrolling => scrolling.Enabled(false))
.Filterable(ftb => ftb.Mode(GridFilterMode.Row))
//.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:530px;" })
.Events(events => events.DataBound("onDataBound"))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
//.Sort(sort => sort.Add("freeSeats").Ascending())
.PageSize(10)
.Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.id))
.Read(read => read.Action("GetBenches", "Deskcheckin"))
)
)
</div>
Everytime i press on of the buttons in the command column, the url gets a # in front of it, even if i set the buttons to do nothing.
my url is something like
http://www.aaaaaa.com/stuff
When i press one of the buttons i get
http://www.aaaaaa.com/stuff#
How can i disable this?

Please try with the below code snippet. For custom command button grid generate anchor control for same. By default it set href='#' and I have replaced it with href='javascript:void(0)'.
<div>
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<MvcApplication1.Models.Student>()
.Name("grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
..........
..........
columns.Command(command => { command.Custom("checkBench1").Text("AM").Click("doCheckIn"); }).Title("Check in").Width(200);
})
.Events(events => events.DataBound("onDataBound"))
..........
..........
)
</div>
<script>
function doCheckIn() {
alert('a');
}
function onDataBound(arg) {
$("#.k-grid-checkBench1").attr('href', 'javascript:void(0)');
}
</script>
Let me know if any concern.
