documentElement	Firefox/Netscape/NN 6 IE 5 Chrome/Safari/DOM 1
	Read-only
Returns a reference to the root element node of the document. For HTML documents, the reference is to the html element that encompasses the document's head and body elements. In a pure W3C DOM environment, the documentElement property is inherited from the core document object, and is thus available to XML documents, as well.

Example

var rootElem = document.documentElement;

Value
Element node reference.

Default
The current html element object.
