How to disable all hyperlink using jquery
===

i know how to disable one hyperlink at a time.so when user click on it then nothing will happen. here is sample

    $('#myLink').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    //do other stuff when a click happens
    });

but now i have many hyperlink for my pager within li and div. it looks like

    <div id='pager'>
    <ul>
      <li>
	<a href='search.aspx?page=1'>1</a>
      </li>
      <li>
	<a href='search.aspx?page=2'>2</a>
      </li>
      <li>
	<a href='search.aspx?page=3'>3</a>
      </li>
      <li>
	<a href='search.aspx?page=4'>4</a>
      </li>
     </ul>
    </div>
