function pos(dx, dy){ if (!document.getElementById) return; if ((x == 10 && dx == -1) || (x == 290 && dx == 1)) alert("can't move"); else x += 5 * dx; if ((y == 10 && dy == -1) || (y == 270 && dy == 1)) alert("can't move"); else y += 5 * dy; Added ifs to stop moving at edges. You could reset x & y instead.

I've posted a useful explanation of how handle elements array-like returned by such functions (and suggested to use another one) in one of your previous question about the same subject, but you seems to not read it, and/or not getting so much attention to it, so I don't know why I would help you further ^^ https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/1071147/?ref=app

Im looking so that when you touch the borders it will restart the square at the starting position. @John Wells

I don't know if i am correct but getElementsByClassName returns an array so you can loop through it. Or The best way do it using jquery

What exactly are you looking for? Meanwhile, your hide and show after running game would be simpler to use class for the items. <div id = "left_div" class=toggleMe></div> <div id = "right_div" class=toggleMe></div> $(".toggleMe").hide(); $(".toggleMe").show(3000); Of course, every id that was listed in the hide/show needs the class name added.

getElementsByClassName will return an array. if you want to access an element of the array you need to use a number as an index: element[0], element[1], ... like this.
