Center a popup window on screen?
try it like this:
function popupwindow(url, title, w, h) {
var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2);
var top = (screen.height/2)-(h/2);
return window.open(url, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', top='+top+', left='+left);
}
Due to the complexity of determining the center of the current screen in a multi-monitor setup, an easier option is to center the pop-up over the parent window. Simply pass the parent window as another parameter:
function popupWindow(url, windowName, win, w, h) {
const y = win.top.outerHeight / 2 + win.top.screenY - ( h / 2);
const x = win.top.outerWidth / 2 + win.top.screenX - ( w / 2);
return win.open(url, windowName, `toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no, width=${w}, height=${h}, top=${y}, left=${x}`);
}
Implementation:
popupWindow('google.com', 'test', window, 200, 100);

function PopupCenter(pageURL, title,w,h) {
var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2);
var top = (screen.height/2)-(h/2);
var targetWin = window.open (pageURL, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', top='+top+', left='+left);
return targetWin;
}
SINGLE/DUAL MONITOR FUNCTION (credit to http://www.xtf.dk - thank you!)
UPDATE: It will also work on windows that aren't maxed out to the screen's width and height now thanks to @Frost!
If you're on dual monitor, the window will center horizontally, but not vertically... use this function to account for that.
const popupCenter = ({url, title, w, h}) => {
// Fixes dual-screen position Most browsers Firefox
const dualScreenLeft = window.screenLeft !== undefined ? window.screenLeft : window.screenX;
const dualScreenTop = window.screenTop !== undefined ? window.screenTop : window.screenY;
const width = window.innerWidth ? window.innerWidth : document.documentElement.clientWidth ? document.documentElement.clientWidth : screen.width;
const height = window.innerHeight ? window.innerHeight : document.documentElement.clientHeight ? document.documentElement.clientHeight : screen.height;
const systemZoom = width / window.screen.availWidth;
const left = (width - w) / 2 / systemZoom + dualScreenLeft
const top = (height - h) / 2 / systemZoom + dualScreenTop
const newWindow = window.open(url, title,
`
scrollbars=yes,
width=${w / systemZoom},
height=${h / systemZoom},
top=${top},
left=${left}
`
)
if (window.focus) newWindow.focus();
}
Usage Example:
popupCenter({url: 'http://www.xtf.dk', title: 'xtf', w: 900, h: 500});
