How to get HTML element similar to getting BODY with document.body? [duplicate]

Question

I know there's a way to do this, but I cannot recall how.

How do I go about grabbing the HTML element (top-most element in the DOM), using plain JavaScript?

Answer 1

Use document.documentElement.

See the docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/documentElement
