Window.document (Property)

A reference to the document object that is contained in the window.

Availability:

DOM level - 1

JavaScript - 1.0

JScript - 1.0

Internet Explorer - 3.02

Netscape - 2.0

Opera - 3.0

Property/method value type: Document object

JavaScript syntax: - document

- myWindow.document

This property returns a reference to an object that represents the document that is currently loaded into the window.

Warnings:

Beware of recursion effects by referring to the document belonging to the window and then referring back unintentionally via a property enumeration. The document.parentWindow property in MSIE will come straight back to the source window.
Beware that this refers to an object that belongs to the window and not the object that the window belongs to.
