To disable a link, unlike the previous technique, the use of the disabled attribute is not allowed. It is still possible to disable a link by following 3 steps:
- remove the
hrefattribute so that it can no longer receive the focus - add a
role="link"so that it is always considered a link by screen readers - add an attribute
aria-disabled="true"so that it is indicated as being disabled
<a role="link" aria-disabled="true"> Disabled link </a>Check out Scott O'Hara's excellent article on the subject: Disabling a link.
