How to remove "href" with Jquery?

Question

<a id="a$id" onclick="check($id,1)" href="javascript:void(0)"  class="black">Qualify</a>

After "href" is removed, is "Qualify" still clickable?

Answer 1

Your title question and your example are completely different. I'll start by answering the title question:

$("a").removeAttr("href");

And as far as not requiring an href, the generally accepted way of doing this is:

<a href"#" onclick="doWork(); return false;">link</a>

The return false is necessary so that the href doesn't actually go anywhere.

Answer 2

If you remove the href attribute the anchor will be not focusable and it will look like simple text, but it will still be clickable.
