How about you don't output the link if the user isn't authorize to view the details? Even then, the code/pages you're linking to should check that the request is from an authorized user otherwise an authorized user can share a link with an unauthorized user.
As far as disabling a link on the client side, you can set an onclick event listener to return false and that'll stop the browser from completing its actions. Here's on way to do that: <a href="foo.html" onclick="return false;">bar</a>
I hope this helps. Alfred Kent Hohlen wrote:
Is there a way to do some validation after the user clicks a link but before the browser opens the link? What I want to do is show a list of "items". Each "item" has a link to a detail view about that "item". While the list is being built, I will flag each "item" if the user is authorized to view the detail for each "item". When the user clicks the detail link, I want to check the flag to see if they are authorized. If they are, show the detail, if not, show a message box. Is there a way a way for JavaScript or something else to be executed when the link is clicked? TIA. Kent Hohlen Eagle Window & Door
