JavaScript predefined variable "name" -


i learning javascript , discovered variable named name, predefined, sitting in global context.

enter image description here

i created new, clear html file (have not written html in it). tested in chrome, opera , firefox, same...

i wonder why that, beyond curiosity, there case when variable assigned value "string", itself, have not touched it. why there? doing?

window.name 1 of predefined property of global object window.

since stephan bijzitter wants answer more details, here is.

section 7.3.1 of current living html standards states window.name property of global object window returns name of window , can set, change name.

the name attribute of window object must, on getting, return current name of browsing context; and, on setting, set name of browsing context new value.

the name gets reset when browsing context navigated origin.
