How does LINK work?

[LightBringer]

Hey, I've read the explanation about the LINK tag in w3schools, but I still can't quite understand it- what does that tag do, how do I use it properly, and how does it appear in the web browser.

Thanks in advance,

<link> is used to show a relationship between one document and another. For example, most people use <link> to include CSS styling written in another document in the HTML document they are displaying (the web page). It's done like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">

rel is stating what the relationship with this html document the other page is. It's a stylesheet.

href is saying where the other document is.

type is stating how the other document is presented, in plain text with css syntax and data.

Thanks for the help.
Anyway, I found the following code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">

What does it do?


Another question: I've read that you can add more than one style sheet, and you can define one of them as your preferred one, and define the others as an alternatives. My question is- how does the user choose which style sheet to use?

What you show is the 'favicon', the little logo you see in the address bar of this page up at the top.
Here's an article about alternate stylesheets.
