I've seen lots of people ask similar questions here, but none of them seem to work for me. I have an img, with the id 'character'. I want it to move left on left click and right on right click. This is the code I have:
var bound = window.innerWidth;
function left(id) {
document.getElementById(id).style.left.match(/^([0-9]+)/);
var current = RegExp.$1;
if(current <=bound){
document.getElementById(id).style.left = current - 0 + 'px';
}
else{
document.getElementById(id).style.left = current - 5 + 'px';
}
}
function right(id) {
document.getElementById(id).style.left.match(/^([0-9]+)/);
var current = RegExp.$1;
if(current >= (bound - 5){
document.getElementById(id).style.left = current + 0 + 'px';
}
else{
document.getElementById(id).style.left = current + 1 + 'px';
}
}
document.onkeyup = KeyCheck;
function KeyCheck() {
var KeyID = event.keyCode;
switch(KeyID)
{
case 39:
right('character');
break;
case 37:
left('character');
break;
}
}
I don't know if I should fix this code, or if there is something simpler. If you have a simpler way of doing this, please let me know.
