Is 'disabled' a valid attribute for an anchor tag

Question

If I have the following simple code segment:

    click me
    &         


        
      

Answer 1

The button is an input type, that's why disable works. Anchors don't work the same. Try giving your a tag an id and disabling using javascript.

click me
click me
=={{value1}}==
=={{value2}}==

After that can disable the element using js and it should behave as input types do.

function DisableButton() {
    var submitButton = document.getElementById("someid");
    if (submitButton != null) {
        submitButton.setAttribute('disabled', 'disabled');
    }
}

Make sure you're getting the right client id of your element.
