how to get a div to randomly move around a page (using jQuery or CSS)

Question

I\'ve been doing some Googling to find an answer to this, but I\'ve had no luck. It could be because I\'m a bit of an amateur and I don\'t know the proper terms to search f

EDIT Added random movement, like DVD idle screen but can bounce anywhere.

http://jsfiddle.net/ryXBM/2/

dirR = "+=2";
dirL = "+=2";

function moveDir() {
 if (Math.random() > 0.95) {
  swapDirL();
 }
 if (Math.random() < 0.05) {
  swapDirR();
 }
}

function swapDirL() {
    dirL == "+=2" ? dirL = "-=2" : dirL = "+=2"; 
}

function swapDirR() {
    dirR == "+=2" ? dirR = "-=2" : dirR = "+=2";   
}

setInterval (function() { $("#d").css("left", dirL); $("#d").css("top", dirR); moveDir(); } , 50)​

CSS

#d { position: absolute;
 left: 100px;
 top: 100px;
 width: 100px;
 height: 100px;
 background-color: #fce;   
}​
