you used to be able to use an activex control to simulate an F11
keypress in IE, but i honestly don't know if it still works. it's
likely to trigger a yellowbar prompt in IE these days anyway. you can
open a new window without any toolbar, statusbar etc with plain old
window.open (http://www.w3schools.com/HTMLDOM/met_win_open.asp),

if you just want to force-maximise the window regularly you could try
something like...

self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

but personally i hate sites that do that. Or you could jsut have the
text "best viewed fullscreen. press F11 for fullscreen" or whatever if
the window res is below a certain value.

i think it's generally better to let users configure their own
browsers ;)
