Change to fullscreen on load

Hi,

I'm doing a simple CD-ROM with an HTML autoplay.

Does anybody know if there is a way to start off the HTML file in fullscreen
without using the 'open browser window' command from another page i.e in other
words this would entail the properties of the window (toolbar, scrollbar, etc.
)to change on load.

i've kinda found a way to do it with IE but the toolbar still appears in
fullscreen mode and the script doesn't work with Netscape or Mozilla.

Thanks

you need an onload command in the body tag, and some script to resize the
window to full screen. I have a feeling there are differences in the
syntax per browser, but you need to check that. something like
window.resizeto(790,580)....

s_m_b, thanks for replying.

I did the /onload/ script and it worked for IE, but still it didn't rid
itself of the toolbar, something one would expect if F11 was pressed.

As for Netscape, Mozilla and Firefox, it's stll annoying the hell outta me!

Thanks anyhow.

Perhaps you're just using the wrong tool for the job. If you want that
much control over the users' desktop, you should probably be writing
something in a C variant, or some other desktop application programming
language.

like I said, there are variations in the addressing of the DOM, that

you'll have to allow for - the Mozilla / Firefox sites might give you a
bit of help.
The F11 function is purely for display convenience, I believe.
