La interfaz Document representa cualquer página web cargada en el navegador y sirve como punto de entrada al contenido de la página (El árbol DOM). El DOM incluye elementos como <body> y <table>), entre muchos otros, y proporciona funcionalidad que es global al documento, como obtener la URL de la página y crear nuevos elementos en el documento.

La interfaz Document describe los métodos y propiedade comunes para cualquier clase de documento. Dependiento del tipo de documento (ej. HTML, XML, SVG, …), hay disponible una API más extensa: los documentos HTML, que se sirven con el tipo de contenido text/html, también implementan la interfaz HTMLDocument, mientras que los documentos XML y SVG implementan la interfaz XMLDocument.

Browser compatibility

Firefox notes

Mozilla defines 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 Obsoleto 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 Obsoleto 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 Document interface:
document.contains
As a work-around, document.body.contains() can be used.
