Question

Using Javascript how to disable a link after clicking it once.
The scenario is that:
I have a left navigation pane, having links to distinct JSP’s which get displayed in .What I want to accomplish is that after I click a link it should open in the center and the hyperlink should be disabled in the left pane.

I am able to navigate through the left navigation pane. But not able to disable the link of the page which shows up in center.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

create an hidden span next to the link.

<a href="..." id="myLink">your link</a>
<span style="display:none">your alter link text</span>

then on the script do

$("#myLink").click(function(){ $(this).hide().next().show(); });
