If by disabled you mean you want the link to show but not go anywhere, then do it this way:

<a href="#">yourtext</a>

If it is something else you are trying to do please tell us what behaviour you want when it is "disabled".

or

<a nohref> . . . </a>

you could use the onClick handler to return false ... this would have the effect of disabling the link:

<a href="whatever.html" onClick='return false;'>yourtext</a>

... and you could set up a global variable to determine whether or not your links are disabled:

<SCRIPT language='javascript'>
var linksEnabled = true;
</script>

<a href="whatever.html" onClick='return linksEnabled;'>yourtext</a>

... set linksEnabled to false to disable the links.

Even if it was usable, it would not be cross browser. Might even crash NS4.x
