Fullscreen

[Reuben_Meyer]

I am having a lot of trouble to make my current page fullscreen. I am currently using :

window.open('index.html', 'big', 'fullscreen=yes')

But this command opens a new fullscreen window.
I need it to make the current window fullscreen.

Can you help please.
:confused:

I am 90% positive that the current window cannot be opened in fullscreen.
Also, opening a window in fullscreen is not user frienly, I wouldn't recomend it.

I am 100% positive that you cannot change the window itself to a fullscreen window. You can only open new windows as fullscreen.

Sorry...

The following is preliminary since SP1 for IE 6 is not released yet but:


IE 6 SP1 will foreclose the Fullscreen option for sites in the Restricted and Internet Zones. Too many web sites have been abusing that ability so it's being removed.

Windows can no longer be moved "off-screen" using the move, resize and open methods of the window object. Another ability that's been misused by sites wanting to annoy their users is being pulled.

Sites in the Restricted zone will no longer be able to use IFRAMES.


If you have an internet site that expects these features to be present you should be aware of the coming changes.
