I'm trying to create a square that will appear in a random place within a 300x300px space. It is currently moving horizontally but not vertically. Can someone help me get it to move vertically as well? Thank you!

        #square {width: 200px;
        height: 200px;
        display: none;
        position: relative;
        }

        var top=Math.random();
                top=top*300;                
        var left=Math.random();
                left=left*300;                      
        document.getElementById("square").style.top=top+"px";                   
        document.getElementById("square").style.left=left+"px";

Use left to translate horizontally and top for vertically.

const getRandom = (min, max) => Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1)+min);

const square= document.querySelector('#square');
setInterval(() => {
   square.style.left= getRandom(0, 300 - 200)+'px'; //
