javascript - window.location or document.location

Question

Is there any difference between the location property of the window object versus the location property of the document object?

window.location || document.location  // That is the question.

These two objects are identical:

console.log(window.location === document.location) // true

They both refer to Location object.

Why are there two ways to access the same object? – Web_Designer Feb 26 '13 at 07:52

window.location represent position in current view of page in browser window

and document.location represents position in currently displaying full document/page
