Opening and moving windows in Javascript
As many of you know we can open a window in javascript using:
window.open("some-page.htm","window-name","width=450,height=450");
The first argument is the URL of the new window, the second one is the window name and the third one is a list of comma-separated items.
Now how to move the new window? window.open returns an object. We have to catch that object and then use it. Here’s how to move the window to the top left corner:
newWin = window.open("some-page.htm","window-name","width=450,height=450");
newWin.moveTo(0,0);
Here’s how to center the window:
var width = 500;
var height = 600;
newWin = window.open("some-page.htm","window-name","width="+width+",height="+height);
newWin.moveTo(screen.width/2-width/2,screen.height/2-height/2);
