Commentary

The HTMLDocument object (often referered to simply as the document object) is simply the root HTMLElement object whose tag is html. This is in contrast to JavaScript, which makes a distinction between the document and the root html element. Therefore, every method or property that applies to HTMLElement may be applied to HTMLDocument.

However, some methods and properties apply only to the HTMLDocument object, and these are documented here.
