open full window in apple OSX

[newnomad]

I want to open a full (every inch) window, also on apple OSX machines; I have never came across it.
The script from;
javascriptkit (http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cut123.shtml)
only results in an about 90% full window, centered(IE) or moved a couple of inches to the right(NS & Omniweb)
This commercial site opens full on pc, but also not on mac;
misssixty (http://misssixty.com)

any ideas?

Thanks:)

I've never been able to do it either. My guess is that for safety reasons, OSX won't let browsers detect the full size of the screen. Keep in mind that it is only a guess and nothing but. Try using screen.width and screen.height to see if you get the resolution. If not then I'm right.

That misssixty opened up full screen fine, it won't cover the dock, though, if that's what you're noticing, it's protected from that.

I must say, though, I hate sites that do this. I find it annoying and I easily override it. Most mac users know how -- I already have two monitors full, and I'd rather you conform to my space, then have me conform to yours. I stop visiting sites that have this, it irks me that much now, and I'm not alone on that one.

The Mac has an entirely different window handling than Windows. The maximise feature of most (though far from all, especially when it comes to ported *nix/Windows software) software only expands vertically, not horizontally. Those applications that maximise in the same way as Windows never cover the dock. Applications that want to use the entire screen horizontally typically switch into fullscreen/kiosk mode or don't try at all.

It's an operative system wide preference of behavior, that most users appreciate and don't want overridden, so please, keep your hands off. If we want larger windows, we resize them manually.

I find it annoying pressing down Tab to open the link in a new tab, oh no, it's javascript, it opens a new window, it drives me mad :mad:, I want to have one window with many tabs, because it is far easier to navigate...
