# Interface HTMLLinkElement

All Superinterfaces:
  `Element`, `HTMLElement`, `Node`

public interface HTMLLinkElement extends HTMLElement
The `LINK` element specifies a link to an external resource, and defines this document's relationship to that resource (or vice versa). See the LINK element definition in HTML 4.0 (see also the `LinkStyle` interface in the module).

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Specification.

Since:
  1.4, DOM Level 2
