Disable link using css



Problems:

  • Is there any way to disable a link using CSS?
  • If you have a class called current-page (css webpage) and want links with this class to be disabled so that no action occurs when the used click the html link

Solution 1:

  • using css - It can only be used to change the style. The best way you could probably do with CSS is to hide the link altogether.
  • What you really need is some javascript. Here's how can you do the javascript function and what you want using the jQuery library.

jQuery code :

$('a.current-page').click(function() { return false; });

Solutions 2:

  • css coding can't do that because it is only for presentation. Your options are:
    • Don't include the href attribute in your <a> tags.
    • Use JavaScript, to find the anchor elements with that class, and remove their href or onclick attributes accordingly. jQuery would help you with that problem.

Solution 3:

  • In Bootstrap, this is the solution for Bootstrap Disabled Link and Bootstrap Disabled Button.
