LINK Rel or Rev List code
|
|
<LINK ...> is our nomination for “Most Under Supported Tag”. <LINK ...> is a great idea which browser makers have largely chosen to ignore. Most of the examples on this page are from the last version of Mosaic which came out a few years ago.
<LINK ...> defines a relationship between the current page and another page or resource. Suppose, for example, that we want to establish that the home page for the current page is http://www.idocs.com. We would put the following <LINK ...> in the <HEAD> section:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Document Tags</TITLE>
<LINK REL=HOME HREF=”http://www.ibina.info”>
</HEAD>
The REL attribute establishes the relationship, in this case that the related page is the Home page for this web site. You can put any value you want, but certain common values have evolved (they are listed below). HREF gives the URL for the related page.
Another use for <LINK ...> (which always goes in the <HEAD> section) is to establish who is the author of the current page. To do this, we could put this <LINK ...> in the <HEAD> section:
<LINK REV=MADE HREF=”mailto:tags@idocs.com” TITLE=”Miko O’Sullivan”>
In this case, we use REV instead of REL. REV means “the reverse relationship”. That is, REV describes what the related resource would put in a <LINK ...> tag using REL. We use REV to indicate that the related entity (Miko) made this document. If we used REL, that would indicate that this document made Miko, which isn’t how it happened (my parents and God did that). HREF again indicates the URL for the related resource, in this case an email address. It is also common to put the URL of the author’s personal home page. TITLE suggests a title for the resource. TITLE suggests a title for the related resource.
<LINK ...> is ignored by most browsers, which is unfortunate. (One of the only browsers in current production which does support <LINK ...> is iCab, a web browser for the Macinotsh. See their FAQ.) Mosaic was one of the few which browsers made use of <LINK ...>. Mosaic makes a sort of “quick index” bar at the top of pages which use <LINK ...>. For example, for a document whose header section looks like this:
| <HEAD> <TITLE>Document Tags</TITLE> <LINK REL=HOME TITLE=”Idocs <LINK <LINK REL=NEXT <LINK REV=MADE TITLE=”Coolmore” HREF=”mailto:moretaxi@gmail.com”> <LINK REL=COPYRIGHT TITLE=”copyright info” <LINK REL=STYLESHEET </HEAD> |
How and When You Should Cancel a Credit Cards
Canceling a credit card at the wrong time can really ding your credit score. On the other hand keeping it around can equal more debt, more hassle, and a less secure identity. Aware of all the gotchas, personal finance weblog Get Rich Slowly examines when and how you should go about canceling a credit card. The short version:
If your credit card balance is zero, go ahead and close as many unused accounts as you want. As long as your credit cards are balance-free, it won’t hurt your credit score a bit. So call those card issuers and cut away.
