K-meleon does not support link-tags, for example:
<link rel="next" href="foo.htm" title="next page">

I know, that no many browsers support these tags, but it is a chicken and egg problem :-)

Mozilla 0.9, 1.1 and 1.2 have a site-navigation-bar and I think, k-meleon should have this too.

Robert,

This is an RFE. Hopefully, it can be worked into a future release. However, you are only the second person to ask for it.

http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/bugs/viewbug.php?bugid=135

Eventually I'd like to see it also. It's not critical, but I think it could be a really useful feature.

Well, now there are three. :-)

The lack of support for LINK is one of the things that are holding easily customizable CSS sites back (alternate stylesheets). Moz supports it and with it's newly released 7beta Opera also does.

Yes and no. Both <link rel="stylesheet" ... > and <link rel="alternate stylesheet" ... > are supported.

It's the option to switch between alternate stylesheets thats missing.

But that's entirely different thing from supporting link-bar with additional navigational features it can give.

It should be easy enough to write a macro to enable the SS switching though.

Also, my vote would be for such a macro functionality to be included by default in the next release of K-Mel, becuse the lack of such a functionallity is actually a breach vs the CSS spec for a CSS capable browser.

Perhaps some of the skilled coders around here would like to take a shot at implementing this in a nice way for K-Mel

Sorry for not expressing myself clearly enough. Yes, of course I meant the ability to switch between them :-/

The link bars used in Moz and now Opera7 are also great. It doesn't need to be a bar IMO but some way to navigate links embedded in LINK elements would be nice.

Yes, if there is anything thats on my wish list for the next KM its full support for HTML 2.0 ^^

HTML 2.0 contanins some deprecated elements which doesn't make sense to support anymore. When was last time you actually used or saw ISINDEX or MENU. Some are outright obsolete like XMP and LISTING.

Are we talking about XHTML 2.0 here? Last time I looked HTML was at 4.01, and XHTML 1.0 was released, but 2.0 was only a working draft.

Or is XHTML 2.0 now a full recommendation?

Nope, we're talking about plaing old HTML 2.0. The question was orginally about the <link> tag that first appeared (I think) in HTML 2.0 and still exists today in the newer standards (HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0). Pretty much it was a feature request to have some method of accessing the information in the <link> tag, such as Mozilla and Opera now do.

oops. sorry about the dupe...

As a K-Meleon 0.7.1 user, I also would like to see K-Meleon fully support the <link> tag.

What exactly are you trying to do?

If you want to access attributes of a link tag in Mozilla (and thus KM), you'd do something like this:

<!-- the link to manipulate / read from -->
<link id="thislink" src="#" attribute1="some value" value="Test Link" title="Test Link">Test Link</link>

<!-- the script to do the reading or manipulating -->
<script type="application/x-javascript; version=1.5">
   const theLink =  document.getElementById("thislink");

   function readLinkAtt() {
        alert(theLink.getAttribute("attribute1"));
        // or, like this
        // alert(theLink.attribute1);
   }

   function writeLinkAtt() {
        theLink.setAttribute("attribute1", "some other value");
        // or, like this
        // theLink.setAttribute.attribute1 = "some other value";
   }
</script>

NM, I see the problem...doesn't work in Firebird either...looks like the Mozilla implementation of the <link> spec is still in transition and is not fully implemented. I made a test page:

<!DOCTYPE&nbsp;HTML&nbsp;PUBLIC&nbsp;"-//W3C//DTD&nbsp;HTML&nbsp;4.01&nbsp;Transitional//EN">

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;//&nbsp;or,&nbsp;like&nbsp;this

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;function&nbsp;defer_link()&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;readLinkAtt();&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;writeLinkAtt();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;readLinkAtt();&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</script>
</head>
<body&nbsp;onload="setTimeout('defer_link()',600);">
<!--&nbsp;the&nbsp;link&nbsp;to&nbsp;manipulate&nbsp;/&nbsp;read&nbsp;from&nbsp;-->
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<link&nbsp;rel="Index"&nbsp;type="text/html"&nbsp;&nbsp;href="#"&nbsp;title="Test&nbsp;Link">Test&nbsp;Link</link>
</body>
</html>

Doesn't work in either browser...the link is just text and the js breaks.
