Hi!
I tried to open page in new window with window.open(...) method.
open() method supports fullscreeen mode, but I would like to open
new maximized window with tiltle bar only....
It only supports fullscreen mode in a limited set of browsers.
Any idea how to do this?
You can't.
Can't you check to see what the dimensions of the screen are and open
a window to those dimensions?
Well, what about semi-permanent os-dependent applications (eg Windows
taskbar, sys. tray, MS-Office Quicklaunch bar, etc) on the user screen
then? fullscreen will cover these despite possible objections from the
user.
That wouldn't technically be maximized, but
it would use the whole screen.
Can I maximize window from current page after it is opened with
window.open?
No.
I prefere multibrowser solution....
Good luck. If you do manage to find a hack to do it, can you post it
here so I can disable it in my browser?
Why? Maybe there's a good reason to open full screen.. Maybe to
display large images or graphs.... Or large tables...
What's wrong with letting the user make that assessment and make that
decision then? What's fundamentally wrong with such approach?
Who is the best person capable of assessing if opening a secondary
window in full screen mode is good, desirable, suitable? The user
using a browser application or the web author coding a page?
How are scripts currently able to detect how the user has set
automatic [large] image resizing feature?
The problem with fullscreen is that it makes several basic features
and standard functionalities of the user screen and of the normal user
browser disabled. It compromises security in a number of ways/areas
for the user. That's why MSIE 6 SP2 introduced a number of changes
regarding fullscreen=yes.
