JavaScript Window screenX property

The JavaScript Window screenX property is a read-only property that returns the horizontal position of the current window relative to the user’s screen. It is similar to the screenLeft property, but it takes into account the current zoom level of the window.

Here are some examples of how the screenX property can be used in JavaScript code:

  1. To retrieve the horizontal position of the current window, you can use the following code:
var x = window.screenX;

// the value of x will be the horizontal position of the window
  1. To move the current window to a specific horizontal position, you can use the following code:
// calculate the new position of the window
var x = (window.screen.availWidth - window.outerWidth) / 2;
var y = window.screenY;

// move the window to the calculated position
window.moveTo(x, y);
  1. To center the current window on the screen, you can use the following code:
// calculate the position of the window
var x = (window.screen.availWidth - window.outerWidth) / 2;
var y = (window.screen.availHeight - window.outerHeight) / 2;

// move the window to the calculated position
window.moveTo(x, y);

Overall, the screenX property provides a convenient way to retrieve and manipulate the horizontal position of the current window on the screen. It takes into account the zoom level of the window, which makes it more accurate than the screenLeft property in some cases. It can be used for tasks such as centering the window, moving it to a specific location, or other operations that require the horizontal position of the window.
