Does document.links take all links from the website?

Question

I wonder if the JS command document.links take all links from the website or just from the page??

Answer 1

According to the documentation, all elements <a> with href defined are listed by the function Document.links.

Document.links

The links read-only Property of the Document interface Returns a Collection of all <area> Elements and <a> Elements in a Document with a value for the href attribute.

Exemple:

var links = document.links;
for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
  var linkHref = document.createTextNode(links[i].href);
  var lineBreak = document.createElement("br");
  document.body.appendChild(linkHref);
  document.body.appendChild(lineBreak);
}

In free translation:

The read-only property links of the interface Document returns a collection of all elements <area> and elements <a> of a document with a value for the attribute href.
