HTMLLinkElement: disabled property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2015⁩.

The disabled property of the HTMLLinkElement interface is a boolean value that represents whether the link is disabled. It only has an effect with style sheet links (rel property set to stylesheet).

If disabled attribute is specified in the HTML when it is loaded, the stylesheet will not be loaded during page load. Instead, the stylesheet will be loaded only when the disabled property is set to false or removed. Setting the disabled property using JavaScript causes the stylesheet to be removed from the document's Document.styleSheets list.

It reflects the disabled attribute of the <link> element.

Value

A boolean.
