The HTMLLinkElement.rel property reflects the rel attribute. It is a DOMString containing a space-separated list of link types indicating the relationship between the resource represented by the <link> element and the current document.
The most common use of this attribute is to specify a link to an external style sheet: the property is set to stylesheet, and the href attribute is set to the URL of an external style sheet to format the page.
var relstr = linkElt.rel; linkElt.rel = relstr;
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("link");
var length = links.length;
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
alert(links[i]);
}
