Resolves relative paths using the current page as a starting point.
Resolves absolute paths using the Web application root as a starting point by prepending the request object’s
context rootto the specified value.
page

title

Usage Notes
dsp:link lets you reference files such as stylesheets and 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.
Example
<dsp:link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Style.css" title="Jefferson High School StyleSheet"/>
This example creates a link from the current page to a stylesheet called style.css that is located in the same directory. The linked page uses the standard MIMETYPE for stylesheets (text/css) and is titled Jefferson High School Stylesheet.
