Recently Derek Powazek reiterated Nielsen's 2003 usability guideline
[1] about "Never, ever link[ing] to the page you’re on"[2].
I've often thought one of prime motivators for resisting this piece
of advice on (the front end, at least) is the difficulty one has in
producing CSS that doesn't wreck the design of navigation bars he
<a> is removed.
Here's the easy fix: just remove the href attribute. An anchor
element sans ANY attribute is perfectly acceptable HTML[3]. It
inherits CSS as expected and doesn't appear in any link collection.
