Yeah, makes sense - or else substitute something like a javascript alert just
asking why the user clicked on a link, or something...<smile>
Anyway, think it might have more application if, for example you'd used a PHP
get() function call to remotely retrieve someone else's content, and output it
as part of your page, and then wanted to rather control any use of links in
that content then - also not necessarily the most righteous implementation, but
anyway - for example, have messed around implementing a sort of cleaned up
inclusion of site specific google search results, but then instead of just
including a google results frame, you can quite easily retrieve the results
page, and then sort of parse it, to extract actual links, page descriptions,
etc., but in your own context - but, again, this isn't necessarily the
nicest/most honest way to operate...<smile>

Thanks. I'm sort of under the opinion if the client wants a link to be
disabled then don't display the link. .and on an official note, WCAG 2.0 AA
4.1.2 would seem to be in violation.

Using jQuery, you can add a click event handler for all links, or a specific
one, where you then turn off the standard event:
event.preventDefault();
