This object is otherwise known as the HTML object.
The <HTML> tag is a block-level tag, although it cannot be placed inside any other tag. Like the body tag, it is considered to be a block-level tag on grounds of its behavior in a framed context.
Be careful how you operate on this object. Traversing its properties in a for( ... in ... ) loop can recursively lock up your browser.
The index value that points at this object in the all[] array for the document will be 0 if there is no DTD statement and 1 if there is. A correctly formed document should have a DTD statement. Use a dynamic mechanism for locating the object of type HTML instead of hardwiring the index value.
