Question

I have some dynamic links that are generated via an e-commerce plugin. They have a unique id. I was wondering if it is possible to disable a link via jQuery or Javascript?

Answer 1

this script sets the attribute of all anchor items to ‘#’ (you will need to provide logic to determine if it’s a link you want to modify):

$("a").each(function(index, item) {
  $(item).attr("href", "#");
});

if the anchor tags in your document have a common class, you could select them all by class name instead:

$(".e-commerce-links").each(// same as above

another option is to remove the href attribute altogether

$("a").each(function(index, item) {
  $(item).removeAttr("href");
});
