<LINK>

The LINK tag provides a way to define relationships with other documents and resources. The HTML 3.2 Reference Specification mentions the following uses of LINK elements : For document specific navigation toolbars or menus To control how collections of HTML files are rendered into printed documents For linking associated resources such as style sheets and scripts To provide alternative forms of the current document

HREF	Specifies a URL designating the linked resource.
REL	The forward relationship also known as the "link type". It specifies a named relationship from the enclosing document to the resource specified by the HREF attribute. HTML link relationships are as yet unstandardized, although some conventions have been established. Here are some proposed/used relationship values: Value Description CONTENTS The link references a document serving as a table of contents. COPYRIGHT The link references a copyright statement for the current document. GLOSSARY The link references a document providing a glossary of terms that are relevant to the current document. HELP The link references a document offering help, e.g. describing the wider context and offering further links to relevant documents. This is aimed at reorienting users who have lost their way. HOME The link points to the homepage of this site. INDEX The link references a document providing an index for the current document. NEXT The link references the next document to visit in a guided tour. It can be used, for example, to preload the next page. The WebTV browsers supports this value. Together with the HREF attribute, REL=NEXT specifies the web page that is likely to be the next page that the viewer will go to. The WebTV interface uses this information to prefetch the next page, storing its content in memory for a fast transition to the page when the viewer does select the link. Use the HREF and REL=NEXT combination for likely next pages, giving viewers a feeling of even faster network performance. For example, if you are presenting a series of pages to the viewer, specify the HREF value and REL=NEXT so that the next page of the series can be loaded into memory as the viewer is still reading the current page. PREVIOUS The link references the previous document in a guided tour. SEARCH The link references a page for searching material related to a collection of pages. STYLE The link references a style sheet that the browser can use to render the document. TOP The link references the top of a hierarchy, e.g. the first or cover page in a collection.
REV	This defines a reverse relationship. A link from document A to document B with REV=relation expresses the same relationship as a link from B to A with REL=relation. REV=made is sometimes used to identify the document author, either the author's email address with a mailto URL, or a link to the author's home page.
TITLE	An advisory title for the linked resource.
TYPE	With REL=STYLE this attribute is used to identify the type of style sheets used. Currently only "text/css" is used, for cascading style sheets.
