JavaScript provides several methods that can be used to interact with the browser's window object, which represents the current web page. Here are some common window methods:
window.alert(): This method displays an alert box with a message and an OK button. It can be used to display a message to the user, or to prompt the user for input.
window.confirm(): This method displays a confirm box with a message and OK and Cancel buttons. It can be used to get confirmation from the user before performing an action.
window.prompt(): This method displays a prompt box with a message, a text field for input, and OK and Cancel buttons. It can be used to get input from the user.
window.open(): This method opens a new window or a new tab with the specified URL. It can be used to open a new web page or to open a new window with a different size and position.
window.close(): This method closes the current window or tab. It can be used to close a window that was opened using thewindow.open()method.
window.innerWidthandwindow.innerHeight: These properties return the width and height of the browser window's viewport (the area of the window that displays the web page), in pixels.
