Answer 1

If you don't want to use javascript to disable the anchor (as pruposed in other responses) you can just omit the hrefattribute and the anchor wont work and will even change it's styling.

A disabled anchor

Note: I know my answer doesn't directly talk about the disable attribute but the info might still be useful for the audiance, as it was for me.
