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"
