HTMLLinkElement
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
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.
