HTMLAnchorElement: relList property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨October 2018⁩.

The HTMLAnchorElement.relList read-only property reflects the rel attribute. It is a live DOMTokenList containing the set of link types indicating the relationship between the resource represented by the <a> element and the current document.

The property itself is read-only, meaning you can't substitute the DOMTokenList with another one, but its contents can still be changed.

Value

A live DOMTokenList of strings.

Examples

const anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for (const anchor of anchors) { const list = anchor.relList; console.log( `New anchor node found with ${list.length} link types in relList.`, ); list.forEach((relValue) => { console.log(relValue); }); }
