Regular expression to remove links

Possible duplicate:
Open RegEx tags, with the exception of stand-alone XHTML tags

I have an HTML page with

<a class="development" href="[variable content]">X</a>

[variable contents] is different in every place, the rest is the same.
What will regexp catch all these links? (Although I am not writing here, I really tried ...)

How about a non-greedy version:

<a class="development" href="(.*?)">X</a>

Try this regex:

<a class="development" href="[^"]*">X</a>

<a class="development" 
  href="[variable content]">X</a>


<a class="development" href="[variable content]">X

JQuery, :

$("a.development").onclick = function() { return false; }


$("a.development").attr("href", "#");

, href.

/<a class="development" href=(?:"[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^\s<>]+)>.*?<\/a>/m

I also assume that it Xwill be a variable, so I added a non-greedy match to handle it, which /mmeans .also matches line breaks.
