I am struggling to create a basic Modal Box that can be minimized to the bottom right corner of the screen. I want to turn it into a plugin, but I'm having trouble getting the simple CSS to cooperate and position itself correctly at the bottom right. Below is all the code that you can simply copy and paste to see the example in action.

* {margin:0px; padding:0px;}
body {font-family: SegoeUI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size:14px;}
.window {position:fixed; height:auto; width:450px; border:1px solid #ccc; overflow:hidden;}
.window.minimized {height:50px; bottom:100px; right:50px;}
.window .top_bar {border-bottom:1px solid #ccc; padding:3px 5px;}
.window .top_bar .title {font-size:1.4em; font-weight:600;}
.window .top_bar .controls {font-weight:600; float:right;}
.window .top_bar .controls a {cursor:pointer; color:#666;}
</style>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var initial_height = $(".window").height();
var windows_on = false;
$(".minimize").click(function(){
var t = $(this);
var tx = t.html();
if (tx == "[-]") {
// code when minimizing and putting to bottom right
windows_on = false;
t.html("[+]");
t.parents(".window").css({ "height": "50px", "bottom": "100px", "right":"50px" });
t.parents(".window").addClass("minimized");
} else {
// code when making bigger and centering
windows_on = true;
t.html("[-]");
t.parents(".window").removeClass("minimized");
t.parents(".window").css({ "height": "400" });
center();
}
});
$(window).resize(function(){ if (windows_on) { center() } });
var w, h, aw, ah, y, x;
function center() {
var t = $(".window");
w = t.width();
h = t.height();
aw = $(window).width();
ah = $(window).height();
y = (ah - h) / 2;
x = (aw - w) / 2;
t.css({"top":y, "left":x});
}
});

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
