By disabled do you mean hidden or you want the text to be there but have it no longer as a link?
One approach may involve giving the the link tag an id.

P.S I'm moving this to the Javascript forum.

And what is solution if we need to keep the text i.e; no more be visible as hyperlink but just as a simple text

Seema, welcome to Bytes!

When you want to disable the link by displaying the text only, then get the text and replace the link with that text. To get the text, either use a DOM method, or simply the innerHTML property.
