Enabling and disabling links in a Bootstrap dropdown menu with dynamic functionality on click

One interesting feature of bootstrap is that it allows users to disable links within its dropdown menu component by simply adding a class="disabled" into the corresponding <li> tag.

I am looking to create some Javascript code so that when a user selects the dropdown menu and clicks on a link within it, that link will become disabled. The dropdown menu naturally closes immediately when a valid link is selected, or when the user clicks outside of the dropdown box. Therefore, upon reopening the menu on any subsequent visit, all previously selected items should appear as disabled.

I have attempted to use the solutions provided in this link: disable a hyperlink using jQuery, but unfortunately, none of them are working for me.

Answer №1

After implementing the revised version of Nagra's JavaScript solution as shown: 

$('#my_link').click(function(){$(this).addClass('disabled');});
, I successfully managed to apply the 'disabled' class to all the <li> elements whenever a user clicks on the <a> link enclosed within the respective <li> parent.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
