I am writing user extensions to selenium. I have the document object. How can I get the window object of the window that contains my document?

PageBot.prototype.locateElementByMyLocator= function(text, inDocument) { // I want the window here }

    How did you get the document object in the first place? I seem unable to fetch it during the test run... Commented Sep 17, 2014 at 15:14

Reset to default

In IE it's document.parentWindow; in Mozilla it's document.defaultView.

Thus you could do something like

function getDocWindow(doc) { return doc.parentWindow || doc.defaultView; }

If you are writing your own extension you can get a window object in Selenium by going 

Selenium.prototype.doExtensionStuff(){ var doc = this.browserbot.getUserWindow().document; //This returns the document that Selenium is using }

This is seen as a better way of doing and will work on any browser since Selenium is taking care of the different browser nastiness
