Although this generally represents the <BODY> tag, there are also properties that relate to the body which belong to the Document and Window objects. In MSIE, there is also a HEAD object which contains related information.
The <BODY> tag is a block-level tag. You can't place a <BODY> tag into the document but taken in the context of a framed environment it manifests itself as if it were a block-level tag.
