如何使用 CSS 禁用链接?

Is there any way to disable a link using CSS?

I have a class called current-page and want links with this class to be disabled so that no action occurs when they are clicked.

The answer is already in the comments of the question. For more visibility, I am copying this solution here:

.not-active {
  pointer-events: none;
  cursor: default;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: black;
}
<a href="link.html" class="not-active">Link</a>

For browser support, please see https://caniuse.com/#feat=pointer-events. If you need to support IE there is a workaround; see this answer.

Warning: The use of pointer-events in CSS for non-SVG elements is experimental. The feature used to be part of the CSS3 UI draft specification but, due to many open issues, has been postponed to CSS4.

CSS can't do that. CSS is for presentation only. Your options are:

  • Don't include the href attribute in your <a> tags.
  • Use JavaScript, to find the anchor elements with that class, and remove their href or onclick attributes accordingly. jQuery would help you with that (NickF showed how to do something similar but better).

You can set href attribute to javascript:void(0)

.disabled {
  /* Disabled link style */
  color: black;
}
<a class="disabled" href="javascript:void(0)">LINK</a>

</div>

CSS can only be used to change the style of something. The best you could probably do with pure CSS is to hide the link altogether.

What you really need is some javascript. Here's how you'd do what you want using the jQuery library.

$('a.current-page').click(function() { return false; });

Only way you could do this without CSS would be to set a CSS on a wrapping div that made your a disappear and something else take it's place.

EG:

<div class="disabled">
    <a class="toggleLink" href="wherever">blah</a>
    <span class="toggleLink">blah</span
</div>

With a CSS like

.disabled a.toggleLink { display: none; }
span.toggleLink { display: none; }
.disabled span.toggleLink { display: inline; }

To actually turn off the A you'll have to replace it's click event or href, as described by others.

PS: Just to clarify I'd consider this a fairly untidy solution, and for SEO it's not the best either, but I believe it's the best with purely CSS.

If you want to stick to just HTML/CSS on a form, another option is to use a button. Style it and set the disabled attribute.

E.g. http://jsfiddle.net/cFTxH/1/

Demo here
Try this one

$('html').on('click', 'a.Link', function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
});

You can also size another element so that it covers the links (using the right z-index): That will "eat" the clicks.

(We discovered this by accident because we had an issue with suddenly inactive links due to "responsive" design causing a H2 to cover them when the browser window was mobile-sized.)

Bootstrap Disabled Link

<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg disabled" role="button">Primary link</a>

<a href="#" class="btn btn-default btn-lg disabled" role="button">Link</a>

Bootstrap Disabled Button but it looks like link

<button type="button" class="btn btn-link">Link</button>

Try this:

<style>
.btn-disable {
    display:inline-block;
    pointer-events: none;       
}
</style>

Thanks to everyone that posted solutions, I combined multiple approaches to provide some more advanced disabled functionality. Here is a gist, and the code is below.

This provides for multiple levels of defense so that Anchors marked as disable actually behave as such.
Using this approach, you get an anchor that you cannot:
  - click
  - tab to and hit return
  - tabbing to it will move focus to the next focusable element
  - it is aware if the anchor is subsequently enabled


1.  Include this css, as it is the first line of defense.  This assumes the selector you use is 'a.disabled'
    a.disabled {
      pointer-events: none;
      cursor: default;
    }

 2. Next, instantiate this class such as (with optional selector):
    $ ->
      new AnchorDisabler()

Here is the coffescript class:

class AnchorDisabler
  constructor: (selector = 'a.disabled') ->
    $(selector).click(@onClick).keyup(@onKeyup).focus(@onFocus)

  isStillDisabled: (ev) =>
    ### since disabled can be a class or an attribute, and it can be dynamically removed, always recheck on a watched event ###
    target = $(ev.target)
    return true if target.hasClass('disabled')
    return true if target.attr('disabled') is 'disabled'
    return false

  onFocus: (ev) =>
    ### if an attempt is made to focus on a disabled element, just move it along to the next focusable one. ###
    return unless @isStillDisabled(ev)

    focusables = $(':focusable')
    return unless focusables

    current = focusables.index(ev.target)
    next = (if focusables.eq(current + 1).length then focusables.eq(current + 1) else focusables.eq(0))

    next.focus() if next


  onClick: (ev) =>
    # disabled could be dynamically removed
    return unless @isStillDisabled(ev)

    ev.preventDefault()
    return false

  onKeyup: (ev) =>

    # 13 is the js key code for Enter, we are only interested in disabling that so get out fast
    code = ev.keyCode or ev.which
    return unless code is 13

    # disabled could be dynamically removed
    return unless @isStillDisabled(ev)

    ev.preventDefault()
    return false

I searched over internet and found no better than this. Basically to disable button click functionality, just add CSS style using jQuery like so:

$("#myLink").css({ 'pointer-events': 'none' });

Then to enable it again do this

$("#myLink").css({ 'pointer-events': '' });

Checked on Firefox and IE 11, it worked.

.disabled {
  pointer-events: none;
  cursor: default;
  opacity: 0.6;
}
<a href="#" class="disabled">link</a>

</div>

you can use this css:

a.button,button {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 6px 15px;
    margin: 5px;
    line-height: 1.42857143;
    text-align: center;
    white-space: nowrap;
    vertical-align: middle;
    -ms-touch-action: manipulation;
    touch-action: manipulation;
    cursor: pointer;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
    background-image: none;
    border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 3px 20px 0 #cdcdcd;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 3px 20px 0 #cdcdcd;
    box-shadow: inset 0 3px 20px 0 #cdcdcd;
}

a[disabled].button,button[disabled] {
    cursor: not-allowed;
    opacity: 0.4;
    pointer-events: none;
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
}

a.button:active:not([disabled]),button:active:not([disabled]) {
    background-color: transparent !important;
    color: #2a2a2a !important;
    outline: 0;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
    box-shadow: inset 0 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
}
<button disabled="disabled">disabled!</button>
<button>click me!</button>
<a href="http://royansoft.com" disabled="disabled" class="button">test</a>
<a href="http://royansoft.com" class="button">test2</a>

</div>

The pointer-events property allows for control over how HTML elements respond to mouse/touch events – including CSS hover/active states, click/tap events in Javascript, and whether or not the cursor is visible.

That's not the only way you disable a Link, but a good CSS way which work in IE10+ and all new browsers:

.current-page {
  pointer-events: none;
  color: grey;
}
<a href="#" class="current-page">This link is disabled</a>

</div>

If you want it to be CSS only, the disabling logic should be defined by CSS.

To move the logic in the CSS definitions, you'll have to use attribute selectors. Here are some examples :

Disable link that has an exact href: =

You can choose to disable links that contain a specific href value like so :

<a href="//website.com/exact/path">Exact path</a>

[href="//website.com/exact/path"]{
  pointer-events: none;
}

Disable a link that contains a piece of path: *=

Here, any link containing /keyword/in path will be disabled

<a href="//website.com/keyword/in/path">Contains in path</a>

[href*="/keyword/"]{
  pointer-events: none;
}

Disable a link that begins with: ^=

the [attribute^=value] operator target an attribute that starts with a specific value. Allows you to discard websites & root paths.

<a href="//website.com/begins/with/path">Begins with path</a>

[href^="//website.com/begins/with"]{
  pointer-events: none;
}

You can even use it to disable non-https links. For example :

a:not([href^="https://"]){
  pointer-events: none;
}

Disable a link that ends with: $=

The [attribute$=value] operator target an attribute that ends with a specific value. It can be useful to discard file extensions.

<a href="/path/to/file.pdf">Link to pdf</a>

[href$=".pdf"]{
  pointer-events: none;
}

Or any other attribute

Css can target any HTML attribute. Could be rel, target, data-customand so on...

<a href="#" target="_blank">Blank link</a>

[target=_blank]{
  pointer-events: none;
}

Combining attribute selectors

You can chain multiple rules. Let's say that you want to disable every external link, but not those pointing to your website :

a[href*="//"]:not([href*="my-website.com"]) {
    pointer-events: none;
}

Or disable links to pdf files of a specific website :

<a href="//website.com/path/to/file.jpg">Link to image</a>

[href^="//website.com"][href$=".jpg"] {
  color: red;
}

Browser support

Attributes selectors are supported since IE7. :not() selector since IE9.

pointer-events:none will disable the link:

.disabled {
       pointer-events:none;
}
<a href="#" class="disabled">link</a>

It's possible to do it in CSS

.disabled{
  cursor:default;
  pointer-events:none;
  text-decoration:none;
  color:black;
}
<a href="https://www.google.com" target="_blank" class="disabled">Google</a>

See at:

Please note that the text-decoration: none; and color: black; is not needed but it makes the link look more like plain text.

</div>

<a href="#!">1) Link With Non-directed url</a><br><br>

<a href="#!" disabled >2) Link With with disable url</a><br><br>

</div>

I used:

.current-page a:hover {
pointer-events: none !important;
}

And was not enough; in some browsers it still displayed the link, blinking.

I had to add:

.current-page a {
cursor: text !important;
}
