Can't you stop the event to avoid the page moving? If I understand what
you're trying to do:
button.observe(
'click',
function(event) {
Event.stop(event);
alert('button was clicked');
return false;
}
Or am I missing something?

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] anchor button causes IE8 to fire onbeforeunload
I'm using an anchor tag to run some JS when clicked. This works
perfectly in Firefox, but Internet Explorer 8 wrongfully fires the
onbeforeunload callback. I know this can be solved by changing
HREF="javascript:void(0)" to HREF="#", but it won't work in my
situation because my anchor is very low in the page and I don't want
the page to scroll to the top when clicked. Is there any solution to
get anchor-buttons to not fire onbeforeunload in IE8?
