Re: Disable the links on the web page...

So make a function that returns false if the target link is clicked.
Assuming I understand correctly, you want one link to turn off all other
links on the page.  However, if you are saying that you have multiple links
and each should turn all others off, then configure them all like the Toggle
Link below.

Does it need to be said that this requires staying on the same page?  Once
they click asway, state is lost unless you send the LinkFlag variable in a
query string or something.

That works, but not with their requirements.  They wanted it so that if you
click a link, all other links become disabled immediately (so that you
cannot change your mind or something, I have no idea what it would
accomplish).  By your example, it would have to be hardcoded with the link
disabled, thus defeating the purpose of having the hyperlink there in the
first place.
