location of prompt?

[wolfing1]

for some reason, when I do this...
var email= prompt("Enter the email address you want to send the test
to:","");
it's opening the prompt window in the top left of the screen. How can I
put it in the center?

Drag it to where you would like it to appear, your browser should
remember where you put it.

hmm... for some reason it doesn't.
Well Firefox here, maybe it doesn't?

Some browsers do, some browsers don't. You can't specify where it opens,
nor can you move it.

bummer
What I ended up doing is opening a new window (with the open command),
which I can size and position anywhere I want, and in a 'OK' button in
it, I call 'opener.myfunction(param)' where param is an 'input field'
in the page. Kind of convoluted I know, but it works.

I can put it in the centre by putting the top left corner of the
previously-active window just above the centre.

Equating screen size and window size can be a bad idea; they are
independent.
