Disabling the click functionality using ng-disabled on an anchor tag is effective, but the tag remains

I'm facing an issue with an anchor tag that I've styled as a download button using Bootstrap's CSS. The problem is even though I have the ng-disabled attribute in the tag, which visually disables the button, it can still be clicked. Here's the code snippet:

<a class="btn btn-primary pull-right download-button" target="_self" href="/download" ng-disabled="!dlAvailable">Download</a>

The link href="/download" changes based on certain variables, and I must use target="_self" to prevent page redirection. Is there an alternative way to disable the anchor tag from being clicked while maintaining its disabled appearance?

Answer №1

I found a clever workaround for my problem. I decided to replicate the button and utilized ng-show to determine which button should be displayed - the disabled one or the functional one.

    <a class="btn btn-primary pull-right download-button disabled" target="_self" href="/download" ng-show="!downloadAvailable">download</a>
    <a class="btn btn-primary pull-right download-button" target="_self" href="/download" ng-show="downloadAvailable">download</a>
