Question

Im trying to build a tabbed content box, and im wondering if its possible that i can disable 1 link with a specific class, such as ‘disabled’

I read somewhere about a function called preventDefault, would this work?

Answer 1

You can disable click event by returning false. like,

$('#tabmenu a').click(function() {
    return !$(this).hasClass('disabled');
});

Also, I’ve updated your fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Ssr5W/1/

EDITED

and of course, preventDefault would work 🙂

$('#tabmenu a').click(function(e) {
    if($(this).hasClass('disabled'))
        e.preventDefault();
});
