HTMLAnchorElement: ping property
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The ping
property of the HTMLAnchorElement
interface is a space-separated list of URLs. When the link is followed, the browser will send POST
requests with the body PING to the URLs.
It reflects the ping
attribute of the <a>
element.
Note: This property is not effective in Firefox and its usage may be limited due to privacy and security concerns.
Example
html
<a
id="exampleLink"
href="https://example.com"
ping="https://example-tracking.com https://example-analytics.com"
>Example Link</a
>
js
const anchorElement = document.getElementById("exampleLink");
console.log(anchorElement.ping); // Output: "https://example-tracking.com https://example-analytics.com"
