Last night I got really bored, and I thought a little about a small script. Basically, I thought about how many built-in PHP functions compared to JavaScript, and then I realized that I really don't know how many functions JavaScript actually has. I was thinking of writing a script that would look at a window object, including every object inside the object, etc. I wrote a script and it worked (tried it on a smaller object).
However, my problem is that JavaScript will not let me loop into the whole Windows object.
I tried:
for (var key in window) { console.log(key); }
I also tried:
var a = Object.create(window); for (var key in a) { console.log(key); }
Both code snippets give me:

However, I know that there are many more properties inside the Windows object. For example, all SVG functions and HTML functions. Why does JavaScript skip many properties of an object?
