Remarks
If no values are indicated, the IHTMLLinkElement::rel property's default relationship is an empty string.
The Offline, Search, Shortcut Icon, and Stylesheet values apply only to the link object.
The IHTMLLinkElement::rel property is similar to the IHTMLLinkElement::rev property, but the semantics of these two properties' link types are in the reverse direction. For example, a link from A to B with REL="X" expresses the same relationship as a link from B to A with REV="X". An anchor can have both IHTMLLinkElement::rel and IHTMLLinkElement::rev properties.
Internet Explorer 8 and later. In IE8 Standards mode, the IHTMLLinkElement::rel content attribute locates the Alternate token regardless of its position in a space-delimited list of tokens. For example, IHTMLLinkElement::rel will locate Alternate whether it is parsed as IHTMLLinkElement::rel or IHTMLLinkElement::rel. For more information on IE8 mode, see Defining Document Compatibility.
The Offline value is available in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later. For more information about CDF files and offline favorites, see Enhancing Offline Favorites. CDF is obsolete as of Internet Explorer 7.
