  I don't know enough about the topic, but I'm pretty sure you can use JS with CSS to accomplish the task.   ;  Thank you.but i woulld be glad if anyone can tell which specific CSS that i must use .   ;  You could swap out two entire divs/spans based on that event. The 'normal' one would include a hyperlink, and the post-click one would be standard text.   ;  I dont know if you can disable a hyperlink, however you can hide a DIV. If you created two divs at the same location, one containing a hyperlink and one containing a standard piece of text, you could then swap between the two.&#106avascript show/hide layer sample code;  You can do this by using the 'onclick' handler on the link - return false to disable the link, true to enable it.As an example, the following link only works the 3rd time you click on it:<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick="return condition();">Link</a><script language="JavaScript">var count = 1;function condition() {    return (count++ == 3);}</script>;  Something like this?<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><title>TEST</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><script type="text/javascript">function updateLink(srcCheckbox, linkId){var theLink = document.getElementById(linkId);if (theLink){if (srcCheckbox.checked)theLink.style.visibility = 'visible';elsetheLink.style.visibility = 'hidden';}};</script></head><body><input type="checkbox" name="myCheckbox" onclick="updateLink(this, 'myLink');" checked /> Click me!<p><a id="myLink" href="http://www.gamedev.net" target="_blank">Go to GameDev.net</a></p></body></html>
