This interface is part of a chain of interfaces used to represent a window in the DOM.

Introduced
Gecko 1.0
Deprecated
Gecko 8.0
Inherits from:
nsIDOMWindow
Last changed in Gecko 7.0 (Firefox 7.0 / Thunderbird 7.0 / SeaMonkey 2.4)
Gecko 8.0 note
(Firefox 8.0 / Thunderbird 8.0 / SeaMonkey 2.5)
In Gecko 8.0 this Interface was merged into the nsIDOMWindow
interface.
This interface no longer has any members; it exists solely to prevent add-ons that reference it from failing completely. Add-ons should be updated to use nsIDOMWindow instead.
It provides many of the common functions used in JavaScript such as alert()
or open()
.
Note: Because most of
nsIDOMWindowInternal
's functions and attributes are well documented in window
, those articles are linked to rather than re-documented. However, they are not guaranteed to document all available arguments (i.e. see window.prompt
).Method overview
The prompt()
and find()
methods changed in Firefox 3.5 to make all their parameters optional; in previous versions, all parameters were required.
