Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page that doesn't require authentication (signing on) or possibly post the code that you used?

  • <a id="link1" onclick="alert('1');">SPT</a>
  • <a onclick="alert('2');">Basic Information</a>
  • <a onclick="alert('3');">Federal</a>

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClientClick="disableControls();" Text="Disable links"/>

Script

function disableControls() { 

           document.getElementById('link1').disabled = true;
       }


Above script code is for disabling anchor tag 'link1' on click of button1. I can still clik on link1 and get alert '1'.

thnx for the reply... cor-el
