Use pure CSS to disable the a tag in HTML without JavaScript

In fact, this problem has already popped up when I first learned the select tag in HTML. To this day, I still haven't found a way to disable the a tag using pure CSS. I have asked my colleagues, classmates, and teachers, and they all used JavaScript. Is it really necessary to use JavaScript?

1. Use pure CSS to disable the a tag in HTML:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

<html>
<head>
<title>How to disable the a tag</title>
<metacontent="text/html; charset=GB2312"http-equiv="Content-Type">
<style type="text/css">
body{
font:12px/1.5 \5B8B\4F53, Georgia, Times New Roman, serif, arial;
}
a{
text-decoration:none;
outline:0 none;
}
.disableCss{
pointer-events:none;
color:#afafaf;
cursor:default
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<aclass="disableCss" href="http://www.baidu.com/">Baidu</a>
       
<aclass="disableCss" href="#"onclick="javascript:alert('Hello!!!');">Click</a>
</body>
</html>

Although pure CSS is used above to disable the a tag, since Opera and IE browsers do not support the pointer-events style, the above code cannot disable the a tag in these two browsers.

2. Use Jquery and CSS to disable the a tag in HTML:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

<html>
<head>
<title>02 ——Disabling the a tag in HTML with Jquery and CSS</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=GB2312" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<script type="text/javascript" src="./jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.disableCss').removeAttr('href'); //Remove the href attribute in the a tag
$('.disableCss').removeAttr('onclick'); //Remove the onclick event in the a tag
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {
font: 12px/1.5 \5B8B\4F53, Georgia, Times New Roman, serif, arial;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
outline: 0 none;
}
.disableCss {
color: #afafaf;
cursor: default
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a class="disableCss" href="http://www.baidu.com/">Baidu</a>
       
<a class="disableCss" href="#" onclick="javascript:alert('Hello!!!');">Click</a>
</body>
</html>

This method is compatible with all browsers, but it mixes JavaScript, which is probably a fatal flaw! ! !

3. Use Jquery to disable the a tag in HTML:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

<html>
<head>
<title>03 ——Disabling the a tag in HTML with Jquery</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=GB2312" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<script type="text/javascript" src="./jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.disableCss').removeAttr('href'); //Remove the href attribute in the a tag
$('.disableCss').removeAttr('onclick'); //Remove the onclick event in the a tag
$(".disableCss").css("font","12px/1.5 \\5B8B\\4F53, Georgia, Times New Roman, serif, arial");
$(".disableCss").css("text-decoration","none");
$(".disableCss").css("color","#afafaf");
$(".disableCss").css("outline","0 none");
$(".disableCss").css("cursor","default");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a class="disableCss" href="http://www.baidu.com/">Baidu</a>
       
<a class="disableCss" href="#" onclick="javascript:alert('Hello!!!');">Click</a>
</body>
</html>

Pure Jquery is used above to implement the function of disabling the a tag in HTML.
