Window: moveTo() method
Baseline
Widely available
*
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

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
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
This example moves the window to the top-left corner of the screen.
function origin() {
window.moveTo(0, 0);
}

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.
