javascript: move image upon button click

Question

I am looking for a simple script to move an image in JavaScript. Code examples from Google search results are not working for me.

Please help.

What do you exactly mean with "move an image"? That could be anything. — RoToRa

To directly answer your question, this script will move an image 42 pixels below and 42 pixels to the right of your absolutely-positioned parent (provided that the image was not already in that position).

var img = document.getElementById("IDImage");
img.style.position = "absolute"; // You should style this with CSS, not this script
img.style.top = 42 + "px";
img.style.left = 42 + "px";
