About Document Links
When most people talk about links on the web, they mean anchor links — a link within the content of a page, which is anchored to a piece of text, or an image. But you can also define a link from one document to another, using the <link> tag. This allows you to import the contents of a script or resource, such as a stylesheet, into your HTML document. You can then control the appearance or behavior of all pages by altering the content in your linked resource page.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://mysite.com/styles.css"> The <link> element can also be used to link different versions of a page together. This is helpful if you have multiple translations of the same content. The following example describes an alternate version in Japanese, using the ISO 639-1 language code.
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ja" href="http://mysite.com/es.php"> A HTML document can have multiple <link> elements to load different script or page types. All of these <link> elements must be placed in the <head> section of the HTML document.
