We specify the relationship between the current document and the target URL by using a <link> tag in HTML. A link tag is used to define a link between a document and an external resource. It is used only when the href attribute is present.

Approach:

  • To specify the relationship between the current and the linked document use the rel attribute

Attribute Values:

  • alternate: It specifies the alternative link of the document(i.e. print page, translate, or mirror).
  • author: It defines the author of the link
  • dns-prefetch: It Specifies that the browser should preemptively perform DNS resolution for the target resource’s origin
  • help: It specifies a link to a help document. Example: <link rel=”help” href=”/help/”>
  • icon: It specifies an import icon in a given document
  • license: It specifies a link to copyright information for the document
  • next: It provides the link to the next document in series
  • pingback: It specifies the address of the pingback serve
  • preconnect: It specifies the target should be preemptive to the origin resource
  • prefetch: It specifies that the target document should be cached.
  • preload: It specifies that the browser must preemptively fetch and cache
  • prerender: It specifies that the browser should load
  • prev: It specifies the previous document in a selection
  • search: It specifies the search tool for the document.
  • stylesheet: It Imports a style sheet

Syntax:

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
