Document
Each web page loaded in the browser has its own document object. The Document interface 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).
Value members
Concrete methods
Adopts a node from an external document. The node and its subtree is removed from the document it's in (if any), and its ownerDocument is changed to the current document. The node can then be inserted into the current document.

The Document.createTreeWalker() creator method returns a newly created TreeWalker object.
The Document.createTreeWalker() creator method returns a newly created TreeWalker object.
Returns the Document Type Declaration (DTD) associated with current document. The returned object implements the DocumentType interface. Use DOMImplementation.createDocumentType() to create a DocumentType.

Returns the Element that is the root element of the document (for example, the <html> element for HTML documents).
Returns the Element that is the root element of the document (for example, the <html> element for HTML documents).
Returns the element from the document whose elementFromPoint method is being called which is the topmost element which lies under the given point. To get an element, specify the point via coordinates, in CSS pixels, relative to the upper-left-most point in the window or frame containing the document.

Returns an XPathResult based on an XPath expression and other given parameters.
Returns an XPathResult based on an XPath expression and other given parameters.
- Value parameters:
- contextNode
specifies the context node for the query (see the http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath XPath specification). It's common to pass document as the context node.
- namespaceResolver
an
XPathNSResolver- result
is an existing XPathResult to use for the results. null is the most common and will create a new XPathResult
- resultType
is an integer that corresponds to the type of result XPathResult to return. Use named constant properties, such as XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, of the XPathResult constructor, which correspond to integers from 0 to 9.
- xpathExpression
is a string representing the XPath to be evaluated.
Returns an XPathResult based on an XPath expression and other given parameters.

- Value parameters:
- contextNode
specifies the context node for the query (see the [http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath XPath specification). It's common to pass document as the context node.
- namespaceResolver
is a function that will be passed any namespace prefixes and should return a string representing the namespace URI associated with that prefix. It will be used to resolve prefixes within the XPath itself, so that they can be matched with the document. null is common for HTML documents or when no namespace prefixes are used.
- result
is an existing XPathResult to use for the results. null is the most common and will create a new XPathResult
- resultType
is an integer that corresponds to the type of result XPathResult to return. Use named constant properties, such as XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, of the XPathResult constructor, which correspond to integers from 0 to 9.
- xpathExpression
is a string representing the XPath to be evaluated.
The Document method exitFullscreen() requests that the element on this document which is currently being presented in full-screen mode be taken out of full-screen mode, restoring the previous state of the screen. This usually reverses the effects of a previous call to Element.requestFullscreen().
The Document method exitFullscreen() requests that the element on this document which is currently being presented in full-screen mode be taken out of full-screen mode, restoring the previous state of the screen. This usually reverses the effects of a previous call to Element.requestFullscreen().
The exception is if another element was already in full-screen mode when the current element was placed into full-screen mode using requestFullscreen(). In that case, the previous full-screen element is restored to full-screen status instead. In essence, a stack of full-screen elements is maintained.
The exitPointerLock asynchronously releases a pointer lock previously requested through Element.requestPointerLock.
The exitPointerLock asynchronously releases a pointer lock previously requested through Element.requestPointerLock.
To track the success or failure of the request, it is necessary to listen for the pointerlockchange and pointerlockerror events.
The DocumentOrShadowRoot.fullscreenElement read-only property returns the Element that is currently being presented in full-screen mode in this document, or null if full-screen mode is not currently in use.
The DocumentOrShadowRoot.fullscreenElement read-only property returns the Element that is currently being presented in full-screen mode in this document, or null if full-screen mode is not currently in use.
Although this property is read-only, it will not throw if it is modified (even in strict mode); the setter is a no-operation and it will be ignored.
