The ownerDocument property behaves differently in Netscape 6 and Internet Explorer. In the following example, the statement creates a new node: 

demoObj =  document.createElement("DUMMY");
And the following statement prints the node's ownerDocument:

demoObj.ownerDocument
This statement yields an undefined message in Internet Explorer and a null value in Netscape 6.
