Full Screen when going to site

If you go to this web site http://www.guet-apens.com you will see that the site
will launch and fill the screen. It does not create a "new window" but uses
the same window. I dug thru the code and this is all I see.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--

self.focus();self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen .availWidth,screen.availHeight
);
function openhome() {
window.open('indexus.htm','::: GUET-APENS - Animation Studios
:::','scrollbars=no,resizable=no');
}
-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.guet-apens.fr/swfobject.js"></script>

I have tried this on a test page and was not successful in making it work.
Any advice?

Forget about doing it. It's rude, and will not work reliably in many
browsers.

I think it is cool. I just tested it on Safari, Explorer, and Firefox on Mac
and Vista and it works very well. There is just one slight issue with Firefox
and Mac. When the upper left corner of the browser is not in the upper left
corner of the monitor, it will not snap to full screen.

I wonder how this site made it work so well.

I think it is cool.

But I and many others who visit this page will not. You don't have my
permission to mess with my preferred browser settings. Any Mac user will be
deeply annoyed by your doing this.

But if you want to take a chance with having your visitors leave your site
immediately then I guess that's your decision.

It doesn't work at all for me in Firefox. My window remains the size it
was and generates scroll bars for quite a lot of both horizontal and
vertical scrolling.

Sadly it does work here on Fx 3.0.5.

Let's see:
1. It takes over my screen (1600x1200).
2. It starts with a meaningless splash screen that doesn't need the larger
screen
3. It's all Flash
4. It's painfully slow
5. It automatically plays music

Rude, arrogant and French. A surprising combination.

Hey Murray, just wondering what are your preferred browser settings and how
does the guet-apens site alter them?

Come to think of it, in Vista when launching any browser it fills the screen.

On a Mac when lanching any browser it does not fill the screen. So this
script really only alters Mac people's browser for the most part.

Has anyone know about the script?

Hey Murray, just wondering what are your preferred browser settings and
how
does the guet-apens site alter them?

I'm on a 1680x1050 resolution screen, and my browser width is rarely greater
than 800-900px. I don't want my browser to be wider. You resize it when I
come into your page, but you don't resize it when I leave. It's rude.

Come to think of it, in Vista when launching any browser it fills the
screen.

That's only because you have maximized it yourself, and then left it that
way.
