The JavaScript window object sits at the top of the JavaScript Object hierarchy and represents the browser window (or windows if you have more than one browser window open at any one time).

The window object allows developers to perform tasks such as opening and closing browser windows, displaying alert and prompt dialogs and set up timeouts (specifying an action to take place after a specified period of time).
