HTMLLinkElement
The HTMLLinkElement
interface represents reference information for external resources and the relationship of those resources to a document and vice versa (corresponds to <link>
element; not to be confused with <a>
, which is represented by HTMLAnchorElement
). This object inherits all of the properties and methods of the HTMLElement
interface.
