How do you make an anchor link non-clickable or disabled?

Question

I have an anchor link that I want to disable once the user clicks on it. Or, remove the anchor tag from around the text, but definitely keep the text.

Answer 1

The cleanest method would be to add a class with pointer-events:none when you want to disable a click. It would function like a normal label.

.disableClick{
    pointer-events: none;
}
