Question

I remember seeing a google maps mashup / music video that created, resized, and moved windows on the screen. What javascript methods are used to do this?

Answer 1

I don’t know how reliable this is, but to move the window relative to it’s current position you can do this:

window.moveBy(250, 250); //moves 250px to the left and 250px down

To move the window to a certain part of the screen:

window.moveTo(0, 0); //moves to the top left corner of the screen (primary)

Courtesy of @Dan Herbert:

It should probably be noted that window.moveTo(0,0) will move to the
top left corner of the primary screen. For people with multiple
monitors you can also send negative coordinates to position on another
monitor. You can check for a second monitor to move to with
screen.availLeft. If it’s negative, you can move a window that far
onto the second monitor.
