Window

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

O objeto window representa uma janela que contém um elemento DOM; a propriedade document aponta para o documento DOM document carregado naquela janela. Uma janela para um dado documento pode ser obtido usando a propriedade document.defaultView.

Esta seção provê uma breve referência a todos os métodos, propriedades e eventos disponíveis através do objeto DOM window. O objeto window implementa a interface Window, o qual herda da interface AbstractView. Algumas funções globais, objeto de namespace, interfaces e construtores, apesar de não tipicamente associados ao objeto em questão, estão disponíveis e estão listados nas referências JavaScript Reference e DOM Reference.

Em um navegador com suporte a abas, como o Firefox, cada aba contém seu próprio objeto window (e, se você estiver escrevendo uma extensão, a janela do navegador é uma janela distinta também - veja Working with windows in chrome code para mais informação). Isto é, o objeto window não é compartilhado entre as abas na mesma janela. Alguns métodos, nomeadamente window.resizeTo e window.resizeBy aplicam-se à janela toda e não à aba em questão ao que o objeto window pertence. Geralmente, qualquer coisa que não pode racionalmente pertencer a uma aba, pertence a uma janela..

Propriedades

Event handlers

These are properties of the window object that can be set to establish event handlers for the various things that can happen in the window that might be of interest.

This interface inherits event handlers from the EventTarget interface and implements event handlers from WindowTimers, WindowBase64, and WindowEventHandlers.

Nota: Starting in Gecko 9.0, you can now use the syntax if ("onabort" in window) to determine whether or not a given event handler property exists. This is because event handler interfaces have been updated to be proper web IDL interfaces. See DOM event handlers for details.
