HTMLAnchorElement: ping property

{{ApiRef("HTML DOM")}}

The ping property of the {{domxref("HTMLAnchorElement")}} interface is a space-separated list of URLs. When the link is followed, the browser will send {{HTTPMethod("POST")}} requests with the body PING to the URLs.

It reflects the ping attribute of the {{HTMLElement("a")}} element.

[!NOTE] This property is not effective in Firefox and its usage may be limited due to privacy and security concerns.

Example

<a
  id="exampleLink"
  href="https://example.com"
  ping="https://example-tracking.com https://example-analytics.com"
  >Example Link</a
>

const anchorElement = document.getElementById("exampleLink");
console.log(anchorElement.ping); // Output: "https://example-tracking.com https://example-analytics.com"
