[rjohn2001]

Hi all,
I don't know how simple this could be..but this is taking on me for quite a some time.It just works fine in IE but not in firefox..Could some please guide me what's wrong in here..

<a class="Item" href="" Onclick="javascript:return false;" style="width:100" disabled>Contents</a>

This seems like a client-side issue rather than an ASP question.

It might be better to ask the JavaScript experts: forum216

Oh, out of curiosity.... why disable a link?

Assuming the page is created dynamically via ASP, why not just not send the link for users that lack the required privilage level?

Something like this:

<% If UserType = "Guest" Then %>
  <font color=grey>Contents</font>
<% Else %>
  <a href = "/contents.asp">Contents</a>
<% End If%>

... but here I go trying to put a server-side solution to what is funadentally a client-side issue...

When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I would recommend considering Sheco's suggestion - it might make a little more sense than sending surplus content to the user who doesn't have any need for it..
