SVGAElement: username property
The username property of the SVGAElement interface is a string containing the username component of the SVG <a> element's href. If the URL does not have a username, this property contains an empty string, "".
This property can be set to change the username of the URL. If the URL has no host or its scheme is file:, then setting this property has no effect. Setting it also rewrites the element's href attribute as a complete, absolute URL.
The username is percent-encoded when setting but not percent-decoded when reading.
See URL.username for more information.
Value
A string.
