I’m looking for a script to run with in a window that will make it full screen with no toolbar and no menubar. I need this to run in the window as its opened from any source, (i.e. search, internal link, external link, etc.) All the scripts I have found are to open a new window from a hyperlink, buton etc.

Please help

@steelersfan88Mar 24.2004 — do the following:[CODE]<text>Press F11 For Fullscreen</text>[/CODE]That is the only way one *should* use this feature.

Popups can be added in fullscreen mode in IE only by using fullscreen=yes in the config for the popup. This, however, is wrong to do since[list=a]
  • [*]It is IE only

  • [*]It is a simple, yet malicious piece of code

    [/list=a]

    @tgiboneyauthorMar 25.2004 — I'm aware that it it's only works for IE! I'm only doing as I'm ask and the need is for a page to open in full screen mode from any link, links that I have no control of.

    Your opinions are biased and should not be used in a forum like this. I see that you cut and paste the same statement to all who ask this question.

    @krautinatorMar 25.2004 — someone needs to chill out...


    GET OF YOUR PEDISTAL and BE HELPFULL OR DONT RESPOND AT ALL !!!![/QUOTE]

    by the way, you made a typo...

    should be:
    GET OFF YOUR PEDESTAL and BE HELPFUL OR DON'T RESPOND AT ALL !!!![/QUOTE]

    all he's saying is that it will probably just piss off your users anyway - most people would probably think that it is an ad and immediately close it...

    I'm pretty certain he was not aware of your situation, and perhaps you should have stated it before hand.

    so he was trying to be helpful by giving you advice to let your users choose fullscreen (by using F11) instead of forcing it on them

    @jaegernautMar 25.2004 — Yep, I'm sure people will just flock to help them with that attitude.

    Second day on the forum and already yelling and griping.

    steelersfan88 even told them how to set up the popup, so I don't think anything else could be said here anyway.

    Maybe they didn't have their morning caffeine yet, and will realize they shouldn't react that way and post a more civil reply later in the day.

    @VladdyMar 25.2004 — I'm just curious, what kind of wed page [b]needs[/b] to run in a full screen mode...
    Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
    @TheBearMayMar 25.2004 — Actually the fullscreen=yes works under Firefox also, but if you don't control the window.open statement it won't do you any good. Now if you want a page to always open full screen no matter where it's called from the simplest thing is to have it reopen itself as full screen. Something like:

    [code=php]
    <body onload="if(window.title != 'fullScreen') window.open(URL, 'fullScreen', 'fullscreen=yes')">
    [/code]


    As to why a page needs to be forced to full screen, I don't have an answer...

    Thankfully such action will not be allowed by pop-up blockers

    @tgiboneyauthorMar 25.2004 — Many thanks to (TheBearMay). As for what kid of page or why it needs to be displayed in full screen is because we have users that are having problems following directions. This page is a form with buttons that print, submit, reset etc and they are getting confused whit the standard browser buttons and menus.

    As for my hasty remarks earlier I’m sorry if I stepped on some toes or hurt feelings it just seams like some of you are trying to push your beliefs or desires on others vice helping. I also don’t agree with this method and I hate it but when I’m asked by the boss I make my dislikes and why clear and if they still want I do. By the way I’m not a web developer by trade, I’m a network administrator that has been thrown into a hot frying pan because downsizing.

    Once again I’m sorry but the first remark is not what I’ use to seeing in other professional forums.

    @VladdyMar 25.2004 — If you think that a page popping up is less confusing that standard browser buttons, you are wrong.

    There is only one function you mentioned that duplicates the browser functionality - "Print". And that is the problem of your design that it tries to do what browser already does. Solution is not in opening your site in a new window, but making your design so that it does not duplicate browser funcitons and is visually clear enough for users to follow.

    That is the professional approach that would be suggested on any professional forum.

    If you were looking for a hack that create more problems that it solves, professional forums are a wrong place.

    As I already stated, what you percieve as a solution, will cause problems with many more users than you are having problem with now.

    @steelersfan88Mar 25.2004 — With arguments behind us, I thank the rest of the guys (and gals) here for backing me in stating that this should not be done; and it is thankful that nearly all popup blockers prevent this. [i]Originally posted previously[/i]

    [b]Your opinions are biased and should not be used in a forum like this. I see that you cut and paste the same statement to all who ask this question.[/b][/quote]
    I've never replied to a ? like this, since normally I let others respond in the exact same way, isn't that right for the "veterans" here? Iwrote what I gave you after seeing your question in a way that you should understand that this is really not your right to change the appearance of the user's browser, for it belongs to the user, [b]NOT YOU[/b]. I think your comments are the unnecessary ones, as I am trying to just help out and provide information that should be learned.

    Learning about things is how to make things better. Learning how to do things can only make things work, since you have no idea of how it operates (you of course representing a general person).[i]Originally posted previously[/i]

    [b]Once again I’m sorry but the first remark is not what I’ use to seeing in other professional forums.[/b][/quote]
    This is not something yo ucan be sorry for, as even editing it keeps it in the records (as it has been quoted). You should think about your comments before clicking post; therefore making sure that you know what you are saying. I did this and read ove rmy post, making sure I was unbiased to my browser, and others should respect that. I gave you code, but specifically told you that it is not universally compatible, and being that I use IE, I am [u]not[/u] supporting the-IE only features since it would be inproper. I find this to be malicious, as it is the user's right to see his browser, and not yours to change. I don't see why the comments that were made needed a reason.

    For what reason muist you open alink in full window. If you need an application type thing, then you definately have to look at non-web languages, like C and C++, rather than javascript. There should not be a reason to force a fullscreen link!

    @tgiboneyauthorMar 25.2004 — Once again I was only doing what I was asktold to do. I to disagree with this and I for one don’t want anyone forcing upon me how my browser is laid out but I have to make a living to take care of the bills. I got what I needed from all including your advice against this and I have passed them on to my boss along with my reservations again but they are determined to do it anyway.

    Can we just end this dispute, I have apologized because I felt like I should since I upset some of you.

    @steelersfan88Mar 25.2004 — I love ending disputes; although, I never never parted into nor out of one, I simply attempted to reason and or explain the reasons for and if my original post

    @KorMar 26.2004 — Here's a script I use to open an "almost" fullscreen page, maybe It will help you and will give you some new ideeas:

    [code=php]
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
    function op(){
    w= screen.availWidth-10;
    h=screen.availHeight-20;
    f='status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,left=0,top=0,width='+w+',height='+h;
    window.open('page.html','_blank',f);
    }
    window.onload=op;
    </script>
    [/code]
    ×

    Success!
