You need to grab the screen size and massage from there. Here is a JS
script I use to Center, should be easily modifiable for your other needs.

openCtrWindow('/foo.html','_Print','600','400','scrollbars=1,toolbar=1');

function openCtrWindow(theURL,winName,winWidth,winHeight,otherFeatures) {
   var x = 0;
   var y = 0;
   x = (screen.availWidth - 12 - winWidth) / 2;
   y = (screen.availHeight - 48 - winHeight) / 2;
   if (otherFeatures != "") {otherFeatures = "," + otherFeatures}
   var features = "screenX=" + x + ",screenY=" + y + ",width=" + winWidth
                + ",height=" + winHeight+",top="+y+",left="+x+"'"
                + otherFeatures;
   var popWindow = window.open(theURL,winName,features);
   popWindow.focus();
}
