Hello

I just want to enable / disable onclick and href on elements (a or div).

I don't know how to do this.

I can disable onclick by adding an handler on click event, but the href is still available.

 
$(this).unbind().click(function(event){
     event.preventDefault();
     return;
});

FOUND A HACK FOR A ELEMENTS


if ($(this).attr("href")) {
     $(this).attr("x-href", $(this).attr("href"));
     $(this).removeAttr("href");
}
