Set IE To Full Screen
Hi There
U know how on IE you can put it into full screen mode? (F11)
Does any one you know how to do that with a command or something, like change it to full screen automatically when you load up the web page
Thanks

I don't know if you can.. Vincent Puglia would be the one to ask.
The one solution I can think of is to open a new window with no toolbars. set the dimensions equal to screen.width and screen.height and close the parent.
It's sloppy and the client might not know what's going on or like it, but it should work.
Good luck,
Mark Hensler
If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

You can use the object.FullScreen function.

Hi,
Adam: unless I'm mistaken, that's an IE-thingy only. Max's solution, coupled with an onLoad event handler, provides a crossBrowser solution --
window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height) or
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight)

Yes, of course it is. However he was looking for a command to switch IE to full screen like F11 does.

Hi Adam,
Guess I read Josh's first sentence as an example, rather than a direct request. Still, I believe crossBrowser solutions are better suited since many people tend to get caught up in many of M$'s "shortcuts" (lack of form tags, document.formname.selectname.selectedIndex, etc.) As a rule, I try not to use any IE-only code (except on intranets).

Vinny, point taken. The IE tag in this case is a lot cleaner mainly because there are no sizing issues. If you want true compatibility use a browser select script and use object.FullScreen with IE and the window.resize with Netscape. That’s what I’ve done in the past for an intranet site that had full screen sections.

can you remove toolbars with the resizeto() function? (So it looks more like F11)

Hi,
The resizeTo() only takes x,y (width,height) for parameters. If you want to remove the toolbar, you'd have to state that when you first open the window (window.open())

is there anyway to remove toolbars after the window has been opened?
such as "window.scrollbars = false"

Hi Max,
I've never heard of one. And if IE allows it, for sure netscape doesn't. If you are curious enough, check out microsoft's workshop -- msdn.microsoft.com/workshop
