Help – Creating a full screen window from a CURRENT window

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 26.2006

Hi

I am trying to create a full screen window from the current window that I have open.

I know how to create a full screen window but it requires that I pop-up a screen. I don’t wiant to do…instead, when someone clicks on my link or types in my web page I want the current window to become full size.

Does anyone know how to do this:

Note below is the code I use to pop open a window and make the screen full size.

(Press Alt+4 to kill the full-screen window)

Any help on this issue would be appreciated:

——————-

Here is the code: Put it between the <body> tags to see it in action.

<script>

function fullwin(targeturl){
window.open(targeturl,””,”fullscreen,scrollbars”)
}
//–>
</script>

<form>
<input type=”button” onClick=”fullwin(‘http://www.dynamicdrive.com‘)” value=”Open window”>
</form>

@A1ien51Mar 26.2006 — You can not do it. There is no way to do it, and I am happy there is no way to do it with the current window.

Thank you for responding.

The reason for wanting to create a full size screen is that I do not want to pop a window (for among other reasons pop-up blockers), which seems to be the only way I can think of to create a full monitor window.

I have thought of an alternative idea but do not know how to execute it and that would be as follows:

A link from the parent window opens a child window...upon opening the child window, simultaneously that perent widow kills itself with a self.close code, so that only the child widow would exist.

Two questions:

  • 1. Can I do this?


  • 2. if I can do this, would the pop-up blocker not execute as only the child window would exist?

    How about this: your site is a quest in MY BROWSER WINDOW. Make it fit.
