“Window is the global object. It may seem a little weird, but the window object acts as your global environment, so the names of any properties or methods from window are resolved even if you don’t prepend them with window. In addition, any global variables you define are also put into the window namespace, so you can reference them as window.myvariable.”
― Eric Freeman, Head First HTML5 Programming: Building Web Apps with JavaScript
