Document object

The document object is one of the most important objects of JavaScript. The below is a very simple JavaScript code:

     document.write("Hi there.");

In this code, "document" is the object. "write" is the method of this object. Let's have a look at some of the others that the document object possesses.

lastModified You can always include the last update date on your page by using the following code:

     <script language="JavaScript">
     document.write("This page 
		created by John N.");
     document.write("Last update: " 
	 	+ document.lastModified); 
     </script> 

All you need to do here is use the lastModified property of the document. Notice that we used "+" to put together "This page created by John N. Last update: " and document.lastModified.

bgColor and fgColor Lets try playing around with bgColor and fgColor:

     <script>
     document.bgColor="black";
     document.fgColor="#336699";
     </script>
