METHODS Attribute | Methods Property

Internet Development Index

Sets or retrieves the list of HTTP methods supported by the object.

Syntax

HTML<A METHODS = sMethod... >
ScriptingA.Methods [ = sMethod ]

Possible Values

sMethodString that specifies or receives the comma-separated list of HTTP methods supported by the object for public use.

The property is read/write. The property has no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

These methods are more accurately given by the HTTP protocol when it is used. However, for reasons similar to those for the title property, it can be useful to include the information in advance in the link. The HTML user agent can choose a different rendering as a function of the methods allowed; for example, if an object has a method that supports searching, an icon denoting this can be rendered.
