Sometimes you need to remove a link from an anchor tag dynamically. You can do this with JavaScript. Take a look at this example:

<a href="http://www.devx.com" name="ancDevx">Devx</a>
To remove the link (i.e, the href) from the <a> tag, use the following code:

document.anchors["ancDevx"].removeAttribute("href");
