address LINK object in the HEAD section

VK
Having HEAD section like that:

<head>

<title>Foo</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<link
title="linkObje ct"
rel="Alternate Appendix"
type="text/plain"
href="data.txt"
charset="iso-8859-1"
hreflang="en-US">

</head>

what would be the most realible way to get "linkObject " reference?

var roof = document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'HEAD')[0];
// ?

Replacing `title=' with `id=' and using Document::getEl ementById().

Are ID's formally allowed for LINK? Or for other elements in the
non-rendering section (HEAD) I did not find this attribute listed
neither in W3C nor in MSDN. From the other side TITLE is required by
W3C for alternate content links.

Not to say I technically care too much but for some reasons I want to
have this LINK usage free of any "hacking model" accusations. Unusual -
yes, but fully standard compliant.

You must have a different "W3C" and "MSDN" than I have ;-)

The `id' attribute is allowed for "All elements but BASE,
HEAD, HTML, META, SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE".
See <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/attributes.html >

,-<URL:http://msdn.microsoft. com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/id.asp>
|
| Applies To
| [...] LABEL, LEGEND, LI, LINK, LISTING, [...]
^^^^
The (X)HTML DTDs clearly state the `link' element has the `id' attribute:

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32#link>

<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#edef-LINK>
(note the `%attrs;' entity reference and follow the links
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html#attrs>
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html#coreat trs>)

<URL:https://www.cs.tcd.ie/15445/15445.html#DTD>
(search for "ATTLIST link")

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtden try_xhtml1-strict.dtd_link >
(search for "ATTLIST link", note the `%attrs;' entity reference and follow
the links)

The `title' attribute, however, should provide for a short description of
the element.

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#ade f-title>
From the other side TITLE is required by W3C for alternate content links.
How do you got that idea?

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.3.3>
Not to say I technically care too much
But you should, for your own sake and that of users of your content.
but for some reasons I want to have this LINK usage free of any "hacking
model" accusations. Unusual - yes, but fully standard compliant.


Accessing the `id' attribute value is sufficiently un"hack"ish :)

Is there a way to dynamically add a reference to the css stylesheet from the codebehind similarly to the script registration features?

Hello, I am running my code on an embedded platform without OS. I have defined some data in a section called .eeprom. The section is defined by the linker script and starts at address zero.
