Name

BODY — NN n/a IE 4 DOM 1

Synopsis

The BODY object reflects the BODY element, which is distinct from the document object. The BODY object refers to just the element and its nested content. The BODY object is special in IE 4 in that it is the gateway to many important visual aspects of content on the page, such as background, margins, and scrolling. There is a shortcut reference to the object, document.body, so you don’t have to build a reference via the document.all. elementID hierarchy.
