xlink:actuate
Actuating the XLink Link
The intended behavior for an XLink link when activated by an application, specifically, the
timing for obtaining or retrieving the content of a link (for example, by a user clicking
on the link to request the material, or by the material being automatically loaded with a
document when the document or document component is loaded).

| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| none | The behavior is unconstrained, and no other markup is generally available in the link to assist an application in deducing the retrieval mechanism. |
| onLoad | An application should retrieve the link at the same time a user obtains the initial document load. |
| onRequest | An application should only retrieve the link after a user has physically triggered the retrieval, for example, clicked on the link. |
| other | The behavior is unconstrained, but other markup is generally available in the link to assist an application in deducing the retrieval mechanism. |
| Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
