Zusammenfassung
Each web page loaded in the browser has its own document object. The Document
interface serves as an entry point into the web page's content (the DOM tree, including elements such as <body>
and <table>
) and provides functionality which is 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:
- Most commonly, you work with the document the script is running in by using
document
in document's scripts. (The same document can also be referred to aswindow.document
.) - The document of an iframe via the iframe's
contentDocument
property. - The
responseXML
of anXMLHttpRequest
object. - The document that a given node or element belongs to can be retrieved using the node's
ownerDocument
property.
Depending on the kind of the document (e.g. HTML or XML), different APIs may be available on the document object.
- All document objects implement the
Document
interface (and hence theNode
andEventTarget
interfaces). Thus, the "core" properties and methods documented on this page are available for all kinds of documents. - In contemporary browsers, some documents (e.g. those served with the
text/html
content type) also implement theHTMLDocument
interface. - In heutigen Browsern, SVG Dokumente implementieren das
SVGDocument
Interface.
In der Zukunft, alle diese Interfaces werden zusammengefasst zum Document
Interface.

Interface erbt auch vom Node
und EventTarget

Spezifikationen
Browser Kompatibilität

Mozilla defines a set of non-standard properties made only for XUL content:
document.currentScript
- Returns the
<script>

document.tooltipNode
- Returns the node which is the target of the current tooltip.
Mozilla also define some non-standard methods:
Document.execCommandShowHelp

Element.getBoundingClientRect()
method instead. Document.loadOverlay
- Loads a XUL overlay dynamically. This only works in XUL documents.
document.queryCommandText
Veraltet seit 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 Hinweise
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 theDocument

- As a work-around,
document.body.contains()
can be used.
