Hey Thanks

I think I got what I neaded from all of that.

Hi Max,

I've never heard of one. And if IE allows it, for sure netscape doesn't. If you are curious enough, check out microsoft's workshop -- msdn.microsoft.com/workshop

is there anyway to remove toolbars after the window has been opened?
such as "window.scrollbars = false"

Hi,

The resizeTo() only takes x,y (width,height) for parameters. If you want to remove the toolbar, you'd have to state that when you first open the window (window.open())

can you remove toolbars with the resizeto() function? (So it looks more like F11)

Vinny, point taken. The IE tag in this case is a lot cleaner mainly because there are no sizing issues. If you want true compatibility use a browser select script and use object.FullScreen with IE and the window.resize with Netscape. That’s what I’ve done in the past for an intranet site that had full screen sections.

Hi Adam,

Guess I read Josh's first sentence as an example, rather than a direct request. Still, I believe crossBrowser solutions are better suited since many people tend to get caught up in many of M$'s "shortcuts" (lack of form tags, document.formname.selectname.selectedIndex, etc.) As a rule, I try not to use any IE-only code (except on intranets).

Yes, of course it is. However he was looking for a command to switch IE to full screen like F11 does.

Hi,

Adam: unless I'm mistaken, that's an IE-thingy only. Max's solution, coupled with an onLoad event handler, provides a crossBrowser solution --
window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height) or
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight)
