What's the best way to open a new maximised window?

I wasn't sure if this was a CSS of Javascript question: so I thought I would try in here.

I want: to open a window that is maximised as much as possible: BUT without anything that may cause it to not work on some browsers.

I'm looking for the 'safest' option (that still has the miximised borderless window if possible).

Thanks.

This is called a 'chromeless window' and it sounds a javascript thing. Perhaps dynamicdrive.com has something. They have many javascripts.

You can't open a chromeless window using JavaScript. The security implemented into browsers some years ago disabled that option. The only way to do it is to open a regular window and then press the F11 key.

If you really need to do it then I think the most recent browser that actually supports it is IE5.

-I'd be afraid of chromeless 100% width/height-anythings.... it deprives me the right to navigate away using history arrow, etc. This is (was) typical of the most annoying of the 'pop-up ads' of about 10 years ago and yes, -I was using IE5.x at the time now that you mentioned it... :(
