How to disable a JavaScript hyperlink?

Question 1

I just get a script from a website to put it on my own site, but it has a hyperlink on it and I want to disable that, here is the script:

<script language="javascript" src="http://www.parstools.net/calendar/?type=2"></script>

Thanks.

Question 2

Is the "hyperlink" you're referring to the script's src? That's how the script is loaded. What are you attempting to do by "disabling" it?

Question 3

For those who don't want to open the src, it's one line: document.write("<a href='ParsTools.com/'>1389年1月31日</a>");

Question 4

Following from your previous question, you may want to try the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> 
 <head> 
 <title>Simple Demo</title> 
 </head> 
 <script type="text/javascript">
 window.onload = function () {
 document.getElementById('calendar').innerHTML = 
 document.getElementById('calendar_hidden').getElementsByTagName('a')[0].innerHTML;
 };
 </script>
 <body> 
 <div id="calendar_hidden" style="display: none;">
 <script src="http://www.parstools.net/calendar/?type=2"></script>
 </div> 
 <div id="calendar" style="color: red;"> 
 </div>
 </body> 
</html>

Question 5

If the link is always going to be the same, and you know how to get that string into a variable, this should work:

str = str.replace( "<a href='http://www.ParsTools.com/'>", '' ).replace( '</a>', '' )

Edit in response to comment

This isn't best practice, but.. Wrap the js include in a div:

<span id="whatever">
 <script type="text/javascript" src="..."></script>
</span>

Then

<script type="text/javascript">
 str = document.getElementById( 'whatever' ).innerHTML
 str = str .... // what i said before
</script>

This solution doesn't require jQuery, which it looks like you don't want to use.

Question 6

yes the link is always going to be the same, but where I should add this: str = str.replace( "<a href='ParsTools.com'>", '' ).replace( '</a>', '' )

Question 7

I've done this as far as I get you, see if I go wrong anywhere <div id="calendar"> <span id="whatever"> <script language="javascript" src="parstools.net/calendar/?type=2"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> str = document.getElementById( 'whatever' ).innerHTML() str = str.replace( "<a href='ParsTools.com'>", '' ).replace( '</a>', '' ) </script> </div> thanks.

Question 8

You don't need to put my script in the <div>, but it works as long as we're ignoring standards :) Don't forget to close the span as well! (between the </script></div>, you need </span>)

Question 9

@user320946: I think you need to use the window.onload event, as in the example of my answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/2672421/…. Otherwise, the string replacement will happen before the external script is loaded.

Question 10

thanks every one, Daniel way works just fine, and one more thing, I cant vote up yet, as far as I dont have enough reputation

Question 11

I presume you mean the script creates a new hyperlink element on the page. You could simply write your own JavaScript (after the external script), which disables it. With jQuery that would be something like

$('#hyperLinkId').attr('disabled', true);

Question 12

Thanks for your answer Evgeny, the script actually is a Calendar, and when I add this part to my page, it appears fine, but when you mouse over on it, it has a link to it's website (parsitools.net) and I want to disable that, and about jQuery, I really don't know anything about that and how I can add this to my page, I would really appreciate if you explain it much clearly for me, thanks

Question 13

If you place that script inside of a <div id="something"> you can do the following:

var something = $('#something a');
something.replaceWith(something.contents());

assuming you include the jQuery library.

See "How to remove only the parent element and not its child elements in JavaScript?"

Question 14

I put a div behind my script like this: <div id="calendar"><script></script></div> and where I have to put your codes then ? sorry for being so unfamiliar with jQuery

Question 15

and also how can I add jQuery library to my page ?

Question 16

You can download it from their website (jquery.com) or link a <script> tag to the Google-hosted version (code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/index.html#jquery). Since the code is so simple inside of the remote script you might be better off with a pure JS solution similar to hookedonwinter.

Question 17

Check out jquery.com. Tons of very awesome documentation.

Question 18

I had a look at the "script file" in question and i'm very confused.

This is the entire contents of the link: http://www.parstools.net/calendar/?type=2

document.write("<a href='http://www.ParsTools.com/'>1389年1月31日</a>");

It doesn't appear to be a calendar at all.

Can you provide more information regarding your using of this script file?

Question 19

it's a calendar for some middle-east region actually
