2,676 PointsWhen I use the method document.body.remove() is it a window object method?
Once the window word may not be referenced, when I use document.body.remove(), am I using a window object method?

Great question,
When you use document.body.remove(), you are not directly calling a method on the window object. However, the document object itself is part of the window object in the browser environment.
Here's how it works:
window.document: The window object is the global object in the browser, and document is a property of this object. This means document is essentially shorthand for window.document.
document.body.remove(): This method is specifically a part of the DOM (Document Object Model) API, and it's a method available on a DOM element (in this case, document.body).
In summary, while you're not directly calling a method on the window object, the document is inherently tied to the window object, making it indirectly related. But document.body.remove() itself is a method of the HTMLElement interface, not the window object.
