opening new window in fullscreen mode

**asp_funda** · Oct 16, 2003, 05:02

Can some one tell me how can I open a new window in the fullscreen mode.
I am using the following code:-

Code:

<a href="javascript:myWin(page.html, 200, 400);">Open Window</a>
<script language="JavaScript">
function myWin(url, h, w) {
var myWin = window.open(url, "myWin", "height=200, width=300");
}
</script>

I found this simple script to open a window fullscreen. Maybe you can adapt it to your needs:

Ya, the fullscreen property does this, but if I'm not mistaken, this is IE/Win only.

It worked like a charm. Thanks for the link Vinnie. & yes, I needed it for IE/Win beetle. But you have aroused my curiosity. Tell me, is there a way to open a window in fullscreen mode in Netscape too or other platform that win??

None that I know of -- never researched it.

**asp_funda** · Oct 16, 2003, 10:43

Its never 2 late to start a good thing

**beetle** · Oct 16, 2003, 10:46

Are you suggesting that I do your research? Ha!

Seriously, I don't have the time to look now.

**asp_funda** · Oct 16, 2003, 10:52

never did I suggest that u do my research. I do my work myself as far as I can do. I just need some help, that's all. I am going through my books & net. maybe I'll come up with something or maybe not. but if anyone knows it, the help is more than welcome.

Hey, can I minimise a window through JavaScript too??

**beetle** · Oct 17, 2003, 05:45

No. In fact, the fullscreen mode you trigger with window.open isn't the normal fullscreen, either.

**asp_funda** · Oct 17, 2003, 09:22

Agree, its not the normal fullscreen mode but that does the work, so I am not complaining. I was just wondering that whether can I minimize the window by Javascript too. I need it for Internet Explorer 6 on Windows2000 or above so there must be some way with microsoft providing many special active-x for IE & JScript methods. What do you think???

**beetle** · Oct 17, 2003, 09:25

If you can it an HTA, you can probably do this, but I really don't know. You're gonna have to get real friendly with MSDN and just read, read, read.

**asp_funda** · Oct 17, 2003, 10:07

Not a bad idea but time gobbler. what HTA by the way??

Pretty slick, beetle, I like that one.

My wife says I've totally forgotten!

Thanks for the link beetle. I didn't know even a tenth about HTAs than what the msdn told me. So I gather that a window can be minimized through JScript in HTAs. I am still looking for the way to do it though.
