automatically maximize a users screen.

Sep 09.2004

For a class my website doesn’t work less than 800 by 600. My teacher wants it to work for everything. So I wanted to set the page to scroll side ways if it is to small but I couldn’t figure that out. So my question.

Is it possible to automatically maximize a users screen on the loading of the page? Not full screen but just maximized. If anyone can help thanks in advance.

@MstrBobSep 09.2004 — I'm not sure about that. However, I am sure that if it is possible, this would be client side scripting and not server side scripting. You're best bet is to ask in the Javascript lounge.

@HaganeNoKokoroSep 10.2004 — Put this inside the head of your document:
<i>
</i>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function reset() {
window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);
}
window.onresize=reset;
reset();
&lt;/script&gt;

This will resize the browser window to full size when the page is loaded, and if the user tries to resize, it will reset the screen window size to full.

Note that it will not work if the user has javascript disabled, and there may be some browsers that will not play ball (for example, in Netscape 7, if the user resizes from the left or top, the page is still resized to full, but not moved to the (0, 0) position). These, however, are inevitable pitfalls of client-side scripting.

Success!
