Okay, I have never seen this before and it is awesome!
Could someone please tell me how this is done?
Click on the link and go to the large pic of Ariel, then click on her.
The page opens into a full screen without the navebar!!

My condolences. You just discovered the hateful fullscreen mode :(

Anyway, here's how it's done:
window.open("whatever.htm","","fullscreen")

P.S. You cannot do this with your "original window"... I say this because generally this is the next question asked in this case.

In order to open a window fullscreen, or in any other way that alters the normal browser view, you have to open a new window.

Okay, I totaly expected an answer like this...
Please, check it again. This is not any kind of fullscreen I have ever seen. This one when you undo the fullscreen by clicking on the resize window box in the upper right hand corner puts it in a window WITHOUT the "e" in the upper left hand corner so all you can do to close the window is click on the pic or hit alt f4.

Now, someone, please give me a clue ???

Maybe the code?

It's even more terrific: channelmode=yes, fullscreen=yes
:eek:

I can't believe you're encouraging him... :)

Actually, fullscreen makes really great splash screens. I usually close them myself after about 3 seconds of user exposure, cause they're scary to people who dont' know how to hit, for instance, control-w (to close the browser window).

it's a good thing that most of you don't speak dutch, otherwise the link would be removed because of explicit sexually oriented language

I doesn't work for me - I just see the forum thread ..

... because I have my browser set to prevent javascript from automatically opening, moving or manipulating unrequested windows ;)

Hoe wil je dat doen dan?

sorry, couldn't resist... you're right, I don't understand a word of it. It looks a lot like german.

Hey aren't we all, like, bilengual at least? I mean, we speak english (sorta), JavaScript is a language (which we all know fluently, better even than english, eh?), and even HTML, which is a markup LANGUAGE.. . I can't tack on C++, C, Ada, Fortran, Spanish, Java, Perl, and a few others, and I'm sure ALL of you have two or three at least each.

Kewl... we're eDuK8ID!!!!!!!

Thanks Borgtex, that worked!!
I know, I know, we all hate that full screen stuff..
but to be truthfull, I've been looking quite a long time, especially up until a year or so ago for something that will actually make a page go true fullscreen.. now, if I could just get rid of those scrolll bars... :D

I think you can get rid of the scrollbars using CSS, cascading style sheets. Anyone know the overflow properties? I remember hearing about them...

Hidden worked great! I put it in the body of the called for page.
the result is the best full screen I've been able to achieve.
I have seen popups that take over your whole screen though. Only way to get rid of them is alt f4, but those are nasty and I would never stoop that low.

PS, thanks also for your help Beck :)
