Remove Link from anchor tag

Question

 hi

  I want to remove link from anchor tag using css  & result should be plain simple text. pls help as soon as possible

 Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If it's a pre-existing anchor tag you will need to use jQuery to remove the href attribute.  You can do this with the following code

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('a.yourAnchorTagClass').removeAttr('href');
});

This will remove the href attribute from <a href="#" class="yourAnchorTagClass">your text here</a>

If this is a custom anchor tag then consider using the <span> tag instead.  i.e. <span>your text here</span> instead of <a href="">your text here</a>

Answer 2

thanks for reply. but in following code anchor tag doesn't have class. it's located inside the span tag & span has class so how i will remove a link from anchor tag using css in sharepoint. 

<span class="ms-imnSpan">
<a onclick="GoToLink(this);return false;" href="/sites/CPFDO/DEVLN/Test_ConRoomBook/_layouts/userdisp.aspx?ID=283">Wecome</a>
</span>

thanks :)

Answer 3

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('span.ms-imnSpan a').removeAttr('href');
});
(Or)
$(document).ready(function(){
 $('span.ms-imnSpan a').click(function() { return false; });
});
Use any one of the above code.

Hi SurekhaP,

In order to include JQuery into a SharePoint page without modifying the master page, we can use Content Edit Web Part page. For the detailed steps, please see:

CSS is used for changing the style for a HTML element, it won't be able to remove the hyper link.

Thanks,
