| HTML syntax: | <A HREF="..."> <LINK HREF="..."> | ||||||
| Argument list: | aProtocol | A valid protocol for the URL that the browser supports | |||||
This property yields text string that contains the protocol value from the URL if there is one and an empty string if not.
Using this property as an LValue, you can redefine the protocol for the link if it has an HREF. You might want to do this if you want to change the way you access a particular document.
