Document

Document 接口提供了一些在浏览器服务中作为页面内容入口点而加载的一些页面，也就是 DOM 树。 DOM 树包括诸如 <body> 和 <table> 之类的元素，及其他元素。其也为文档（document）提供了全局性的函数，例如获取页面的 URL、在文档中创建新的 element 的函数。

 

Document接口描述了任何类型的文档的公共属性和方法。根据文档的类型 (例如 HTML、XML、SVG,  ... ), 可以使用更大的API： HTML 文档, 以text / html内容类型提供, 也实现了HTMLDocument接口，而SVG 文档实现了 SVGDocument 接口。

Browser compatibility

Firefox notes

Mozilla define a set of non-standard properties made only for XUL content:

document.currentScript
Returns the <script> element that is currently executing.
document.documentURIObject
(Mozilla add-ons only!) Returns the nsIURI object representing the URI of the document. This property only has special meaning in privileged JavaScript code (with UniversalXPConnect privileges).
document.popupNode
Returns the node upon which a popup was invoked.
document.tooltipNode
Returns the node which is the target of the current tooltip.

Mozilla also define some non-standard methods:

Document.execCommandShowHelp 已废弃 Gecko 14.0
This method never did anything and always threw an exception, so it was removed in Gecko 14.0 (Firefox 14.0 / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).
Document.getBoxObjectFor
Use the Element.getBoundingClientRect() method instead.
Document.loadOverlay
Loads a XUL overlay dynamically. This only works in XUL documents.
document.queryCommandText 已废弃 Gecko 14.0
This method never did anything but throw an exception, and was removed in Gecko 14.0 (Firefox 14.0 / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).

Internet Explorer notes

Microsoft defines some non-standard properties:

document.fileSize*
Returns size in bytes of the document. Starting with Internet Explorer 11, that property is no longer supported. See MSDN.
Internet Explorer does not support all methods from the Node interface in the Documentinterface:
document.contains
As a work-around, document.body.contains() can be used.
