Window.moveTo( ): move a window to an absolute position — JavaScript 1.2:

Synopsis

window.moveTo(x, y)

Arguments

x

The X coordinate of the new window position.

y

The Y coordinate of the new window position.

Description

moveTo( ) moves the window so its upper-left corner is at the position specified by x and y. For security resasons, browsers may restrict this method so it cannot move a window offscreen. It is usually a bad idea to move a user’s browser window unless he explicitly request it. Scripts should typically use this method only on windows that they created themselves with Window.open( ).
