[RESOLVED] How to disable certain hyperlinks based on the contents of a variable

[maxwell_]

My problem in a nutshell is that I need to disable certain hyperlinks perhaps... by removing the a tag's href attribute
based on the contentents of a variable (either php or Javascript )

I have a navbar that when clicked loads in pages of content via a main loader page index.php
Depending on what button is clicked I would like to disable one or more of the other navbar buttons while on that page.

Say I add a variable to each page containing a number page_var = 1, page_var = 2, ETC
Then within each hyperlink button I add something like the following which I tried but didn't work -

onClick='if(page_var==2(this.disabled)){ return false; } else { this.disabled = true; }'

Can someone help me to find the proper syntax to achieve this?

Navbar buttons (hyperlinks)

<div class="square_wrap">

   <a href="https://www.facebook.com/" title="Health Facebook page" target="_blank">    

   <div class="square square1">
   <div class="icontext">Like Us On Facebook</div>
    </div>
    </a> 

<a href="index.php?var=var&title=MHAP+-+Forward+This+Page&page_var=<?php if(isset($page_details)){ echo $page_details;} ?>">

<div class="square square3"><div class="icontext">Forward This Page</div>
   </div>
   </a>   

  <a href="index.php?var8=var8&title=MHAP+-+Give+Feedback" title="Feedback Form" target="_self" disabled="disabled">   
<div class="square square4"><div class="icontext">Give Feedback</div> 
</div>
 </a> 

</div>

I managed to fix the problem by adding some jquery code to each of the pages that required buttons to be disabled.
The jquery targets any <a> tag within <div class="square_wrap"> with the class remnav

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".[B]square_wrap a[/B]").each(function(){
        if($(this).hasClass("[B]remnav[/B]")){
            $(this).removeAttr("href");
        }
    });
});

navbar

<div class="[B]square_wrap[/B]"> 
 <a href="plug-in/easy_read/home.php" class="[B]remnav[/B]" target="_blank">
   <div class="square square2"><div class="icontext">Print Friendly Version</div>
   </div>
   </a>
</div>

Note that you should be able to simplify it even more by changing, This

 $(".square_wrap a").each(function(){
        if($(this).hasClass("remnav")){
            $(this).removeAttr("href");
        }
    });

to this

    $(".square_wrap a.remnav").each(function(){
        $(this).removeAttr("href");
    });

And that could be simplified by changing it to

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