Introduction to BOM: Manipulating Browser Windows and Features using JavaScript

BOM stands for Browser Object Model:

  • The BOM represents the browser window in JavaScript
  • Popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, and Edge are examples of browsers

JavaScript uses the window object for browser-related programming.:

  • If you want to program something related to the browser, we use the window object.
  • The window object provides methods for manipulating the browser.

The window object in JavaScript BOM allows us to interact with the browser window.:

  • The window object provides access to the height and width of the browser.
  • It also allows us to open and close the browser window, resize and move it, and scroll without using the mouse.

JavaScript BOM provides access to various properties and methods of the browser window.:

  • It allows us to retrieve information about the URL, host name, and protocol of the window.
  • We can also access the browser's history to navigate back and forward.
