how to force maximize a window?

[mcemond]

Hi I am building a site 800x600 with thumbnails. My employer wants the thumbnails, once clicked, to open a new maximized browser window. Am I just an idiot or is this really hard? I've been messing around with the following sort of stuff...

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>


<a href="javascript:;" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../images/product_images/oneapp_04.gif','','')"> blah blah blah.gif</a>


Thanks for any help,
Mike

Maximized to what? The width and height of the window or the image itself?

Sorry, to the size of the monitor screen.

This is what I generally do:

function fullScreen() // custom property for window object
{
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);

} // end of fullScreen

// assign custom property to window object
window.maximize = fullScreen;

Then call window.maximize in the ONLOAD.
