Full screen, Netscape & IE & Opera confusion ??

[Asch]

function fullScreen(theURL) {
window.open(theURL, 'popupWin', 'fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=auto');
}

I don't think "fullscreen" is a supported window feature for Netscape/Mozilla, at least. It's not in DevEdge's JavaScript reference.

Perhaps you could do this?

function fullScreen(theURL) {
window.open(theURL, 'popupWin', 'scrollbars=auto, width=' + screen.width + ', height=' + screen.height);
}

adam,

thats the way I ve done it before :o), but the problem with this , is that ther is still the frame arround! I dont want it !!!duhh...

I m sure Netscape & opera have an "fullscreen" command !

thx

I can't help you with a workaround, but here are some references.

Microsoft reference (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp) (mentions fullscreen)
Netscape reference (http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/jsref/win1.htm#1152528) (doesn't)

I presume NS/Mozilla/Opera don't have a fullscreen command for security reasons, but there could be a workaround. Why do you want to open a fullscreen window?

EDIT: Corrected Netscape URL.

You can create a Chromeless windows (at least in Netscape 4 and 6) by turning the decorations off.


The following example would make the referenced window "chromeless" (chromeless windows lack toolbars, scrollbars, status areas, and so on, much like a dialog box) by hiding most of the user interface toolbars:

self.menubar.visible=false;
self.toolbar.visible=false;
self.locationbar.visible=false;
self.personalbar.visible=false;
self.scrollbars.visible=false;
self.statusbar.visible=false;


Some of the abovementioned operations require a UniversalBrowserWrite privilege (e.g., adding or removing the directory bar, location bar, menu bar, personal bar, scroll bar, status bar, or toolbar). You'll need a line that looks like this:

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserWrite");

You might even have to sign the script! A royal pain, eh?

:)
