Name
REL — NN n/a IE 3 HTML 4
Synopsis
REL=”linkTypes"Optional
Defines the relationship between the current element and the
destination of 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. The HTML 4.0 recommendation defines several link types; it
is up to the browser to determine how to employ the value. This
attribute has meaning in IE 4 primarily for the
LINK element, although there is significant room
for future application for tasks such as assigning an
A element (acting as a link) to a button in a
static navigation bar pointing to the next or previous document in a
series. The element must include an HREF attribute
for the REL attribute to be applied.
Example
<A REL="next chapter" HREF="chapter3.html">Chapter 3</A>
