title: Is it possible to make an HTML anchor tag not clickable/linkable using CSS?
body: <p>For example if I have this:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;a style="" href="page.html"&gt;page link&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there anything I can use for the style attribute that will make it so the link isn't clickable and won't take me to page.html?</p>
  
  <p>Or, is my only option to simply not wrap 'page link' in an anchor tag?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I want to state why I want to do this so that people may be able to provide better advice. I am trying to set up my application so that the developer can choose what type of navigation style they want.</p>
  
  <p>So, I have a list of links and one is always currently selected and all the others aren't. For the links that are not selected, I obviously want those to be normal clickable anchor tags. But for the selected link, some people prefer that the link remains clickable while others like to make it not clickable.</p>
  
  <p>Now I could easily just programmatically not wrap an anchor tags around the selected link. But I figure it will be more elegant if I can always wrap the selected link in something like:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;a id="current" href="link.html"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>and then let the developer control the linking style through CSS.</p>
