Several examples of using the window.moveTo() and window.moveBy() methods
are shown in Listing 16-24. The page presents four buttons, each of which performs
a different kind of browser window movement.

var isNav4 = ((navigator.appName == “Netscape”) &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4))
// wait in onLoad for page to load and settle in IE
function init() {
// fill missing IE properties
if (!window.outerWidth) {
window.outerWidth = document.body.clientWidth
window.outerHeight = document.body.clientHeight + 30
}
// fill missing IE4 properties
if (!screen.availWidth) {
screen.availWidth = 640
screen.availHeight = 480
}
}
// function to run when window captures a click event
function moveOffScreen() {
// branch for NN security
if (isNav4) {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege(“UniversalBrowserWrite”)
}
var maxX = screen.width
var maxY = screen.height
window.moveTo(maxX+1, maxY+1)
setTimeout(“window.moveTo(0,0)”,500)
