Rel describes the relationship of the link with its target. For example, the Alt option signifies that the link is positioned at the bottom of the page, which can influence the page layout or how the link is opened in the browser. Id assigns a unique identifier to the component or item, facilitating its association with other components or style rules. For instance, you might assign an identifier like βText here.β Additionally, phishingLink allows you to dynamically alter the destination of a specific link. The expression phishingLink is a variable, and the value of this variable determines the redirection endpoint of the link. |
