I'm sorry to say that by if IE 8 lets you click a disabled (Enabled = false -> Disabled) button that the problem is with IE 8.

I have no IE 8 but in any case, by definition you should not be able to click a button that disabled...

pls try in chrome and mozila with onclientclik event in client side for link button and hyper link.for buttons and some other control cant click if disabled,but link button and hyper link can click even it disabled.pls try in chrome and mozila

We had a some misunderstanding here. Enabled = false, will render the link button disabled in manner of serer side control. Means click will not rise server event. However it will not disable the client side click event for the tag created form the server control...

then how to solve it ?.my need is if disabled = false form server side,in link and hyper link onclientclik event not to rise.

What do you want to do with onclientclick when link button IS enabled?
(Should it be that you confused with onclick and onclientclick?)

Just make it clear. You want to use client side click to handle a server side declared control. It's not that bad, but in case of nchor element you got some problems.
You can not disable an nchor element. The server side Enabled = false only talking about the server side events and behavior.
I think it's better - in your case - to declare and handle the element on the client.
To disable an nchor element you will have to combine CSS and JavaScript (Google some).
