Example
Let us see an example for Link rel property −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Link rel</title>
<link id="extStyle" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>Link-rel</legend>
<div id="divDisplay"></div>
</fieldset>
</form>
<script>
var divDisplay = document.getElementById("divDisplay");
var extStyle = document.getElementById("extStyle");
if(extStyle.rel === 'stylesheet')
divDisplay.textContent = 'The linked document is of type stylesheet';
else
divDisplay.textContent = 'The linked document is of type '+extStyle.rel;
</script>
</body>
</html>
In the above example ‘style.css’ contains −
form {
width:70%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
* {
padding: 2px;
margin:5px;
}
input[type="button"] {
border-radius: 10px;
