How to make a div box move left/right/top/bottom using onclick event?

I tried to use document.getElementById("something").style.left=some number but it doesn't work.

Hey Alex.You are going the right way .The reason it doesnt work is propably because you didnt add 'position :relative' in the CSS of your div . The div tag wont move without position attribute.

Hey Alex. It is really simple. What you have to do is create a div in html and give it some unique id. Now give it some styling and also create animation for it by using @keyframes. Now create a button with onclick event. And create a function in js part in which you can actually apply that animations to your div. https://code.sololearn.com/W8ru5CA8R920/?ref=app

Raj Chhatrala☑️ I appreciate your way. But it makes the button work only once. Once the animation is performed the button becomes useless. You cannot perform the animation again.

Oh, I forgot about position:relative; maybe that is why it was not working. 😅 Thank you!

Mitali I noticed it now. That's a big bug, I will find a way to perform it again and again.

💧Alex Tusinean🔥 It dont works because you have to set the left value more the units (like px) in string. Try to set the value like '100px'

I made few changes here, take a look var n=0; function k(){ if(n%2==0) {document.getElementById("diverta").style.left="100px" ; n++;} else{ document.getElementById("diverta").style.left="0" ; n--; } } function right(){ setInterval(k(),10); }
