TAG <LINK>

Even if a tag <BASE> allows finding a file, question on relations between documents is still opened. Importance of these relations grows proportionally to growth of complexity of your documents. To support logic connection between them, in HTML the tag is entered <LINK>.

Tag <LINK> specifies connection of the document containing the given tag and other document or object. It will consist of the URL-address and parameters, defining attitudes(relations) of documents. The heading of the document can contain any amount of tags <LINK>.Tab. 1.1 describes parameters of a tag<LINK>and their functions.

Let's result examples of a tag<LINK> with parameters:
