The HTMLAnchorElement interface represents hyperlink elements and provides special properties and methods (beyond those of the regular HTMLElement object interface that they inherit from) for manipulating the layout and presentation of such elements. This interface corresponds to <a> element; not to be confused with <link>, which is represented by HTMLLinkElement.
Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement.
HTMLAnchorElement.attributionSourceIdA non-negative integer representing the attribution source identifier used for Private Click Measurement. Valid values are from 0 to 255.
HTMLAnchorElement.attributionSrc Secure context Gets and sets the attributionsrc attribute on an <a> element programmatically, reflecting the value of that attribute. attributionsrc specifies that you want the browser to send an Attribution-Reporting-Eligible header. On the server-side this is used to trigger sending an Attribution-Reporting-Register-Source header in the response, to register a navigation-based attribution source.
