dsp:link lets you reference files such as stylesheets or formatting pages and makes them available to the parent page in much the same way as the HTML link tag.

Note:dsp:link uses the iclass attribute in place of the cascading stylesheet class attribute to avoid using a Java reserved word in Java code.
