The return false is definitely important. It tells the browser that, after
running the commands in the onClick handler, it should NOT go to the href.
If you return true (default) then the browser will go to the href after
running the commands.

In this case, if you aren't returning false, then the form will submit and
the browser will immediately abandon that request and instead try to go to
the href URL, making it look like nothing happened.
