Because that isn't valid JavaScript syntax:

Assuming you have an object called 'window' and you want to declare a
function called 'document' as a propery of that object then you would use

window.document = function() {
}

Although I'm not convinced that's what you want.

Can I recommend David Flanagans excellent 'JavaScript - The Definitive Guide'?
