.net c# <a href> links, killing link when in correct location

Question

Hi,

I am developing a navigation bar for the top of a website. One of the interesting things I noticed about the sites original was that when you had navigated to a location, the link would no longer be a lnk. The prior developer achived this with a lot of code and variables floating around, I am just wondering if there is a much simpler way to do this in .net or css. So if a link has been visited i.e. you clicked the link and have been taken to the target page, the link is no longer a link, you can't click it, no mouse change etc.

Thanks, R.

Answer 1

There are plenty of ways to do this - the simplest I can think of is to have a little chunk of Javascript that searches the entire navbar for links to the current page and strips out the anchor tags.

Answer 2

yes, you can do this with CSS

CSS should really be handling this because it is a navigation styling issue.

good luck.
