How to stay on the same page on the site when clicking on a link?

Question

Yii

How to call an action without following the link?
now I have it like this:
<?= Html::a('Delivered', ['courier/delivered','id' => $courier->id], ['class' => 'btn btn-xs done' ]) ?>
This is a link following where it calls the action delivered by id and overwrites the value in the database.
I need it to pass the value but not follow the link.
