I am attempting to create a page where text appears in random locations. For this, I need the left and top distances in a DIV containing text to be created randomly. The following HTML is a basic idea of what I am thinking about.
<body>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var leftvar = Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
var topvar = Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
}
window.onload = myFunction;
</script>
<div style="left:leftvar; top:topvar;">
<p>Test</p>
</div>
</body>
How can I put variables in the style CSS of a DIV?
Also, any other ways to have a randomly relocating DIV would be appreciated.
Get the element with javascript and change it's style properties :
<head>
<style>#myDiv {position: relative;}</style>
</head>
<body>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var leftvar = Math.random()*1000;
var topvar = Math.random()*1000;
var elem = document.getElementById('myDiv');
elem.style.left = leftvar + 'px';
elem.style.top = topvar + 'px';
}
window.onload = myFunction;
</script>
<div id="myDiv">
<p>Test</p>
</div>
</body>
