Document Interface

Each web page loaded in the browser has its own document object. This object serves as an entry point to the web page's content (the DOM tree, including elements such as <body> and <table> ) and provides functionality global to the document (such as obtaining the page's URL and creating new elements in the document).

A document object can be obtained from various APIs:

Depending on the kind of the document (e.g. HTML or XML) different APIs may be available on the document object. This theoretical availability of APIs is usually described in terms of implementing interfaces defined in the relevant W3C DOM specifications:

  • All document objects implement the DOM Core Document and Node interfaces, meaning that the "core" properties and methods are available for all kinds of documents.
  • In addition to the generalized DOM Core document interface, HTML documents also implement the HTMLDocument interface, which is a more specialized interface for dealing with HTML documents (e.g., document.cookie, document.alinkColor).
  • XUL documents (available to Mozilla add-on and application developers) implement their own additions to the core Document functionality.

Methods or properties listed here that are part of a more specialized interface have an asterisk (*) next to them and have additional information in the  Availability column.

Note that some APIs listed below are not available in all browsers for various reasons:

  • Obsolete: on its way of being removed from supporting browsers.
  • Non-standard: either an experimental feature not (yet?) agreed upon by all vendors, or a feature targeted specifically at the code running in a specific browser (e.g. Mozilla has a few DOM APIs created for its add-ons and application development).
  • Part of a completed or an emerging standard, but not (yet?) implemented in all browsers or implemented in the newest versions of the browsers.

Detailed browser compatibility tables are located at the pages describing each property or method.
