Question

This is for a demo… and i was just curious, can you detect if the window has been moved? Like if you move Firefox/Chrome/IE around your monitor? I doubt it, but I wanted to see since you can check for resize and focus/blurred windows.

Answer 1

I can only think of this (heavy) work-around, where you check if window.screenX and window.screenY have changed every x milliseconds

var oldX = window.screenX,
    oldY = window.screenY;

var interval = setInterval(function(){
  if(oldX != window.screenX || oldY != window.screenY){
    console.log('moved!');
  } else {
    console.log('not moved!');
  }

  oldX = window.screenX;
  oldY = window.screenY;
}, 500);

Though I would not recommend this — it might be slow and I’m not sure if screenX and screenY are supported by all browsers
