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 ;) On Sep 26, 7:35 pm, jhm <jmay...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there some way to switch the browser into full screen mode? > Essentially emulating the F11 key in IE would be what I'm trying to > accomplish. > > TIA!
