<p>이 함수는 요소가 페이지의 body 안에 있는지 검사합니다.  <code>contains</code> 는 포괄적이므로 node 가 body 자기 자신일 경우에도 <font face="consolas, Liberation Mono, courier, monospace"><span style="background-color: rgba(220, 220, 220, 0.5);">true</span></font> 가 반환됩니다. 만약 이걸 원하지 않는 경우에는 node 가 body 자기 자신인지 검사하여  <code>false</code> 를 반환하여 버리면 됩니다.</p>

<pre class="brush:js">function isInPage(node) {
  return (node === document.body) ? false : document.body.contains(node);
