rel

Firefox/Netscape/NN 6 IE 4 Chrome/Safari/DOM 1

Read/Write

Defines the relationship between the current element and the external item pointed to by the link. Also known as a forward link, not to be confused in any way with the destination document whose address is defined by the href attribute. This property is not fully exploited in mainstream browsers, but you can treat the attribute as a kind of parameter to be checked and/or modified under script control. See the discussion of the a element's rel attribute for a glimpse of how this property may be used in the future.

Example

if (document.getElementById("link3").rel == "alternate stylesheet") {
    // process for alternate style sheet
}

Value

alternate	appendix	bookmark	chapter
contents	copyright	glossary	help
index	next	prev	section
start	stylesheet	subsection

Default
