Hi Dave,
It appears that your method signature for attr function is incorrect.
See http://docs.jquery.com/Attributes for details (Looks like you're
passing in an anonymous function as the third parameter of the attr
function...this won't work. You'd need to pass it in as the second
value -- this function serves to return a value to which the attribute
can be set. So you'd omit 'true' in your case and replace with the
function that would return true or false -- that's why that function
is there.) I suspect this is why your javascript execution stops
early
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#edef-A Also note
that disabled is not a valid attribute for the anchor tag. If you
want to disable a link, you might try creating another tag (a
paragraph tag perhaps) that contained your link text and swap them
out. This would have the effect that it seems you're looking for.
Perhaps someone else will have something else to add.
