JavaScript Window moveBy() method

The window.moveBy() method in JavaScript allows you to move a window by a specified number of pixels horizontally and vertically. This method is a part of the Window object, which represents the current browser window, and it can be used to move the window to a new position relative to its current position.

Here is an example of how you can use the window.moveBy() method to move a window by 100 pixels to the right and 50 pixels down:

// Move the window 100 pixels to the right and 50 pixels down
window.moveBy(100, 50);

You can also use the window.moveTo() method to move a window to an absolute position on the screen, rather than a relative position. This method takes two arguments: the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the new position. Here is an example of how you can use the window.moveTo() method to move a window to the top-left corner of the screen:

// Move the window to the top-left corner of the screen (coordinates: 0, 0)
window.moveTo(0, 0);

It’s important to note that the window.moveBy() and window.moveTo() methods are part of the Window object, which represents the current browser window. This means that you must use them in the context of a web page that is running in a browser window. You cannot use them in a standalone JavaScript file or in a Node.js environment. Additionally, these methods are not supported by all browsers, so you should check for compatibility before using them in your web page.
