The moveTo() method of the Window interface moves the current window to the specified coordinates.

Note: This function moves the window to an absolute location. In contrast, window.moveBy() moves the window relative to its current location.

Syntax

moveTo(x, y)

Parameters

x: The horizontal coordinate to be moved to.
y: The vertical coordinate to be moved to.

Examples

This example moves the window to the top-left corner of the screen.

function origin() {
  window.moveTo(0, 0);
}

Browser compatibility

As of Firefox 7, websites can no longer move a browser window in the following cases:

You can't move a window or tab that wasn't created by Window.open().
You can't move a window or tab when it's in a window with more than one tab.

Note: This function might not move the window synchronously. In some environments (like Wayland, or mobile) it might not move the window at all. Currently there's no way to listen to a move event, see CSS Working Group issue #7693.
