function window_onload() {
 this.moveTo(0,0)
this,resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)
 this.outerWidth = screen.availWidth
 this.outerHeight = screen.availHeight
}

does this help?

Subject: [javascript] can you maximize the browser ?

I can set it to an appropriate screen dimension or make it full screen, 
but cannot find anything on maximizing the browser window in JavaScript.
It should have the same effect as clicking the button in top right-hand 
corner.  - Any ideas ?
