Standard global objects (Alphabetical)

LiveConnect

Non-standard

Functionality from the following global objects is provided by LiveConnect and is not a standardized part of ECMAScript.

Other objects in the global scope are either created by the user script or provided by the host application. The host objects available in Gecko-based browsers are documented in the Gecko DOM Reference.

For more information about the distinction between the DOM and core JavaScript, see The DOM and JavaScript article.

Global Properties

This section lists the JavaScript properties not associated with any object. In the ECMAScript specification, these properties are referred to as properties of the global object.

Global Functions

This chapter contains JavaScript functions not associated with any object. In the ECMAScript specification, these functions are referred to as methods of the global object. To reduce redundancy, the constructors are not listed here, but can be found at Global Objects.
