How To Disable An 'href' Link Using JS?
Aug 27, 2003
I am making a page that uses JS to bring up a "popup <div>" when the user clicks on a particular link. I am concerned that if the users browser has JS turned off, nothing will happen when they click. I thought the way around this would be to have a valid href in the link so that if the JS doesn't work, the browser will be directed to an alternative page.
Can I include something in my JS function so that when the user clicks the link, the JS will run and disable the href link at the same time? My thinking is, if JS is disable in the browser, this function would not work, so the browser would continue to load the href link.

Im trying to prevent the user from clicking any other links on my page when
the user have selected/clicked a href once.
Sometimes it takes a while before the next page loads so some user will try
clicking other links or the same link.
I can prevent this when i use buttons by calling onclick and in a javascript
getElementsByTagName("input") and then check the type to be type of "button"
or "submit" which i then disable. It works.
This also works for href html tags by calling onclick and in a javascript
remove all href, BUT it also stops everything, even the request that is
about to happen.
If i use disable getElementsByTagName("a") on href like with buttons it does
not get unclickable just get a grey color but you can click on it.
Any workaround to this? This is a seriuos web app so I want the solution
where i disable ALL links on my page so it is not possible to click on any
after the first time.
All the links is NOT in a form only links using <a href="gosomeplace"> click
this link</a> .

I am trying to make a variable link on a page. The page has a text box
for a stock symbol. The code is: <input type=TEXTBOX Name="symtb"
value="" size="10>
The value of the text box {the stock symbol} will complete the url.
I found code for a variable link:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function variable_in_link(varible_value)
{
new_win = window.open('http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=" +
varible_value'')
}
// -->
</script>
The link I am trying to use is: <a
href="javascript:variable_in_link(symtb)">The text</a>
No matter what I do the variable_value comes back as undefined. There
is always a value in the text box.

for example let's say we have:<a id="link" href="google.com">click</a>I want to be able to click the link, as if the click was made by the user ( left mouse button click ).I know I can do this way:document.location.href = $('#link').attr("href");but I believe it's not the same thing as if the user make that click.

I should not be coding, to be honest, I know nothing about it ...
I have a link:
<a href="linkedfile.html">LINK</a>
I want the HREF value to be carried through my jQuery function. The function goes as follows:
User clicks link Linked icons fade out and reappear smaller at the top of the page Link HREF is followed
The new page will have the logos in the same place as they fade out too and content will appear in a frame below. However, I am clueless when it comes to Ajax and jQuery and would really like to learn, hence why I am using it. How do I carry the HREF through? Or are there better ways to do it?

I'm using the jmapping plugin and it's all working great - when you click on a location link in the side bar the map pans to the location. However what I also want to happen when I click the location link is to load more information about the location onto the page.The idea is to load the div from infodivs.aspx which has an id that matches the href of the link that was clicked. I can make the whole page load without issue but I can't get my head around the syntax for identifying the href of the clicked link and then inserting that into the load statement as a div id.I've tried this.href but if that's actually the right approach, I haven't phrased it right so farHere's the code:
$("a.map-link").click(function () { $('div#moreinfo').empty().load('infodivs.aspx what goes here?');
});

I have no idea about javascript but wanted to use the Konami script on my site. This is the current code:
var kkeys = [], konami = "38,38";
$(document).keydown(function(e) {
kkeys.push( e.keyCode );
if ( kkeys.toString().indexOf( konami ) >= 0 ){
[Code]....
I just wondered how to get the javascript to include the class so that it acts in the same way it would if just clicking the link. I imagine this is upsettingly easy to do but I can't seem to find anything about it!?

I have a link that has an mp3 sound as its href:<a href="sounds/genealogy.mp3" class="track track-default"> this is a link</a>. Unfortunately, I also need that same link to go to a part on the site (href=#greenhouse) so that the sound plays on that part of the site.

question: if you want a link which simply runs a js function is it acceptable to have no href? the problem with this is the cursor doesnt change when you hover over, but if you put # as the href it jumps to the top of the screen which is sometimes unacceptable. what it the best solution to this? granted you could do event handling behind the scenes and just intercept the clicks and prevent the href from going anywhere, but sometimes you just want to stick an onclick on the anchor tag!

I've got a little Quizzer program that asks a question in the upper frame of a frameset and then lists the answer in the lower frame. Answers can be plain text, straight html, a sound, or a LINK. I have a function that builds the answer frame using document.write(among other things). This code works fine until you encounter a link. It dutifully displays the link in the lower frame but the very next question builds the newContent perfectly but does NOT write it to the frame even though it appears to execute it.
if (answerType == "link")
{
parent.frames[1].location = URL;
} else {
// pitiful attempt to clear linked page
parent.frames[1].location.href = "QuizzerAnswer.htm";
var newContent = '<html><head><title>Quizzer Answer</title>'
newContent += '</head>'
newContent += '<body>'
if (answerType == "text" || answerType == "html") {
newContent += answerValue;
}
if (answerType == "sound") {
newContent += '<embed src="' + answerValue;
newContent += '" width="170" height="25" autostart="true">'
}
newContent += '</body>'
newContent += '</html>'
parent.frames[1].document.write(newContent);
parent.frames[1].document.close();
}

I have a few input buttons per page:
<input type="button" value="MyButton" onclick="location='[URL]'">
I want to convert them to:
<a href="[URL]"><span>MyButton</span></a>
How can I convert that with jquery? I try to get the onlick val but jquery or javascript seems to convert onclick to a function. I have this, but it's not quite right, I'm trying to just move the onclick data to the link, but I'd rather do it with href.
$(":button").each(function(){
var ocval = $(this).attr("onclick").val();
$(this).replaceWith("<a class="button" href="javascript:void(0);"
onclick=""+ ocval +""><span>" + $(this).val() + "</span></a>");
});

I have this script and it's working pretty well. Except now I need it to not give the message on one single external link.
Code JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
// Creating custom :external selector
$.expr[':'].external = function(obj){
[Code].....
This works on any "href" external link or link with class of "external". I have one link that needs to be added that is external but needs to appear to not be and not give the warning message.
