Document: head property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since June 2018.
The head read-only property of the Document interface returns the <head> element of the current document.
Value
An HTMLHeadElement.
Examples
html
<!doctype html> <head id="my-document-head"> <title>Example: using document.head</title> </head> js
const theHead = document.head; console.log(theHead.id); // "my-document-head"; console.log(theHead === document.querySelector("head")); // true Notes
document.head is read-only. Trying to assign a value to this property will fail silently or, in Strict Mode, throws a TypeError.
