Definition: A Body object is automatically created for the body tag of a web page This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called Body but if you do then you will not be able to access the body of the page from JavaScript through this object. You will however still be able to access the body using the standard Document Object Method means provided for accessing the body - document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]
