I need a pure Javascript code to disable all links while loading the page, avoiding to click them and redirecting to other page when its using a Facebox.

Can be something that I place in a <script> tag in the <head>.

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

Ok, I get that in head doesn’t work. But in body ending work properly. That’s why I asked for suggestions. 🙂

    Use document.links and prevent their default behaviour with preventDefault().

    var links = document.links;
for (var i = 0, length = links.length; i < length; i++) {
    links[i].onclick = function(e) {
        e = e || window.event;
        e.preventDefault();
    }
}

    If you wanted a more permanent disabling of the links, use removeAttribute('href').

    Place this code somewhere after the closing body tag if you don’t want to use DOMContentLoaded or the window load event.

    You can’t place it in the head element otherwise and have it execute immediately because document.links will most certainly be empty.
