Use buttons and links correctly         Buttons activate scripted functionality on a web page  dialogs  expand collapse regions          Links take you to another location  either to a different page or different location on the same page    If you follow these rules there won t be any scenario when you need to disable a link  Even if you make a link look visually disabled and blank onclick    lt a href    ng-click  Ctrl  isLinkActive  amp  amp   ctrl gotoMyAwesomePage      You won t be considering accessibility and screen readers will read it as a link and visually impaired people will keep wondering why is the link not working

There is no disabled attribute for hyperlinks  If you don t want something to be linked then you ll need to remove the  lt a gt  tag altogether  Alternatively you can remove its href attribute - though this has other UX and Accessibility issues as noted in the comments below so is not recommended

Anything in the href tag will display at the bottom-left of the browser window when you mouse over it     I personally think having something like javascript void 0  displayed to the user is hideous   Instead  leave href off  do your magic with with jQuery whatever else and add a style rule  if you still need it to look like a link    a       cursor pointer
