Why doesn't this code open window to fullscreen?

I do not know why the following code to open the window in a fullscreen mode is not working (any suggestions or direction would be appreciated, thank you):

<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    function openDocOnFullScreen()
    {
        //openDocOnFullScreen=window.open("dictaphone.asp"," displayWindow","fullscreen=yes");
        window.open('dictaphone.asp', 'fullscreen=yes');
    }
</script>
</HEAD>

<BODY ONLOAD="openDocOnFullScreen()">

the 2nd parameter is the window name, that's why your line isn't working, it should be:

Code:

window.open('dictaphone.asp', 'theWindowName', 'fullscreen=yes');

Thanks for the reply. However, this did not work for me. My customer is now stating that he does want a fullscreen but with the titlebar that includes the X button to be able to exit the browser much like F11 does in IE under the View Menu.

ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi,

What you need to do is to "maximize" the window, not put it to "fullscreen" mode. The following URL should help : http://www.devscripts.com/visit.php?sId=1761.
