Disable a link a href

HI,

I am trying to disable the link
<a href="http://www.google.com" disabled="true">Click here</a>

But when I click on "Click here" the link works, looks like only the text is greyed.
How do I disable the link?

I have this in a jsp page which has a boolean bit
So I want to do something like

<a href="http://www.google.com" disabled="<%= bit>">Click here</a>

Is this possible?

Thanks

Try the following

<a href="/whatever" onclick="return false" />

If you disable hyper link its just becomes normal text right? If you want to open a page on some condition write a java script function and call it from href. If the condition satisfied you open page otherwise just do nothing.

code looks like this:

<a href="javascript: openPage()" disabled="<%= bit>">Click here</a>

and function:
function openPage()
{
if(some conditon)
opener.document.location = "http://www.google.com";
}
else{
// nothing, this else not required
}
}

hope it is helpful to you
