JavaScript Window self Property

The JavaScript Window self property is a reference to the current window object. It is commonly used to refer to the current window when working with multiple windows or frames, or to access properties and methods of the current window.

Here are some examples of how the self property can be used in JavaScript code:

  1. To access properties and methods of the current window, you can use the self property as follows:
// access the width of the current window
var width = self.innerWidth;

// access the location of the current window
var location = self.location;

// access the history of the current window
var history = self.history;
  1. To refer to the current window when working with multiple windows or frames, you can use the self property as follows:
// open a new window
var newWindow = self.open('http://www.example.com');

// access a frame in the current window
var frame = self.frames['frameName'];

Overall, the self property provides a convenient way to refer to the current window object and access its properties and methods. It can be useful when working with multiple windows or frames, or when you need to access the properties and methods of the current window.
