Re: Full screen

The window close in the suggestion will require a confirm if the page was not opened by a script. An alternative is to obtain the screen size and to moveto and resize the window to be ful screen.

That's in Internet Explorer; Firefox will refuse to close the window at all.
(And the "fullscreen" window Firefox generates will just be a normal size windows sans the top toolbars.)

Re: Full screen

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
window.onload = function () {
window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
}
window.onload = function () {
window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
}

works in IE, Firefox, Safari.

Workaround(s) may be available for Opera and/or Chrome.

Re: Full screen

Insert this

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = function () {
        window.moveTo(0, 0);
        window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
    }
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = function () {
        window.moveTo(0, 0);
        window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
    }
</script>

before the </head> tag.

Either ship the CD with one of the browsers in which it works or wait for a cross-browser version.

Note: this code assumes that there are no existing onload= functions in the page(s) to be displayed. If there are, it gets a bit more complicated.
