Disable Hyperlink if Checkbox is Checked 2

jmeckley · May 11, 2004

I can't find the properity to set to disable a hyperlink column on my aspx form.

I have tried:
1. document.frmPledge.lnkSearch = "";
2. document.frmPledge.lnkSearch.href = "";
3. document.frmPledge.lnkSearch.disabled = true;

Attempt 1 do nothing. No errors, but the link doesn't change either.

Attempts 2 and 3 error out stating that lnkSearch is null or not an object.

What am I missing? Thank you for your help

try this:

Code:

<script language=JavaScript>
function modifyAnchor(bool) {
   anchor = document.getElementById("google");
   if (bool) {
      anchor.value = anchor.href;
      anchor.href = "javascript:void(0)";
   }
   else {
      anchor.href = anchor.value;
   }
}
</script>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com'[/URL] id=google>Google</a><br>
<input type=checkbox onclick='modifyAnchor(this.checked)'>Disabled
</form>
</body>

Thanks kaht, this is something I have spent long time to figure out. However, can you give me a clue on how I can do this for all href's within a frame(in a loop)?? I want to enable/disable all options for a menu on a certain condition
and have following script now which is called from the 'main' frame to the 'menu' frame:

Code:

function disable() {
var oAllColl = parent.frames[2].document.all;
for (var i= 0; i< oAllColl.length; i++)
if (oAllColl.item(i).disabled == false)
oAllColl.item(i).disabled = true;
}

This works for everything except <a> with Href, for reasons I do not understand, because the link is 'greyed' out, but still it is possible to click it.

Thanks in advance

place this code somewhere within the frame that contains the anchors

Code:

function modifyAnchor(bool) {
   var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
   for (i = 0; i < anchors.length; i++) {
      if (bool) {
         anchors[i].value = anchor.href;
         anchors[i].href = "javascript:void(0)";
      }
      else {
         anchors[i].href = anchor.value;
      }
   }
}
