In javascript, window.XMLHttpRequest: what this statement says?

[yuvaraj KumarAmudhan]

can anybody clearly define the meaning of this statement? i was roaming into some books but i could not get a clear idea about this statement.

It doesn't really say much of anything; it's a reference to the XMLHttpRequest object.

When I type "window.XMLHttpRequest" into a web search I get a *ton* of related, relevant material--what specifically do you want to know?

[yuvaraj KumarAmudhan]

thanks. whether the 'window' represents browser window?

[Bear Bibeault]

window is the browser's way of abstracting the browser window, and it also serves as the "global" object in any page.
