Full Screen issue in IE 7.0

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 08.2007

Hi all,
Please look at following javascript code.

<Code>
function fullscreen(){
w = window.open(‘home.html’, ”, ‘fullscreen=1’);
window.opener = window.top;
window.close();
}
</Code>

Call the above function on body onload event. It simply opens new window fullscreen and closes

the previous one without asking that “Either you want to close the parent window”.
Everything

was working fine but now facing issue with I.E 7.

1) Firstly, it prompts that either you wanna close the parent window? I dont need to show this

message.
2) Secondly, in I.E 7, there is an address bar displaying url. I dont wanna show address.

Any Help.

Regards,
Imran Ghani

@nidhin_plDec 18.2007 — try this

window.opener=window.top;

var test = window.open(' ','_parent',' ');

window.close();

i think this will solve your first issue

@felgallDec 18.2007 — Closing a window you didn't open is not allowed. Your visitor may have 50 tabs running there for different sites with yours being only one of those tabs. You would therefore close all the other things they are in the middle of working on resulting in their wanting to strangle you. Fortunately modern browsers do not allow you to try to get yourself strangled and will ignore requests to close a window you didn't open.

Success!
