apex:outputlink refreshing page on click. how do I stop this?

Hello, 

I am using apex:outputLink on a vf page to open a new window - but it is refreshing my original page upon click.  Is there a way to stop this?  Here is my link. 
  
<apex:outputLink onclick="window.open('AllSpotsMoreDetails?id={!spotObj.Id}', 'newwindow', 'width=800, height=900')"> More Details</apex:outputLink>

Thanks, 

John

Try
<apex:outputLink onclick="window.open('AllSpotsMoreDetails?id={!spotObj.Id}', 'newwindow', 'width=800, height=900');return false;"> More Details</apex:outputLink>

OR
<apex:commandLink onclick="window.open('AllSpotsMoreDetails?id={!spotObj.Id}', 'newwindow', 'width=800, height=900');return false;" value="More Details" rerender="dummy"/>
