How to disable HTML links
<p>I have a link button inside a TD which i have to disable. This works on IE but not working in Firefox and Chrome.
Structure is - Link inside a TD. I cannot add any container in the TD (like div/span)</p>

<p>I tried all the following but not working on Firefox (using 1.4.2 js):</p>

<pre><code>$(td).children().each(function () {
        $(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
  });


  $(td).children().attr('disabled', 'disabled');

  $(td).children().attr('disabled', true);

  $(td).children().attr('disabled', 'true');
</code></pre>

<p>Note - I cannot de-register the click function for the anchor tag as it is registered dynamically. AND I HAVE TO SHOW THE LINK IN DISABLED MODE.</p>
