Hey all..

Is there a way to force IE to use full screen mode, when it loads a page? With HTML, javascript or some language...? Help is highly appreciated!
 
hi,
yes of course there is a way which i am not aware as of now...but there is one more way (the harder one) which u can do...as u know pressing F11 will come to full screen mode..so once when the page gets loaded u simulate the clicking of the F11 button which may result in the webpage to be in the fullscreen mode....

this is a crazy solution of doin what u prefer to do..the original solution would be to give in the window.open method..just check out the syntax
 
I think with javascript:

<body onload=&quot;window.open('thepage.html', 'pagname', 'fullscreen');&quot;

Hope this helps,

Erik
 
Thanks ErikL, that script did the trick!!
and rsubras, I try to find out a way to do it with window.open too.. I havent' ever actually used javasript in my html, so that's why I had to ask.. but thanks, to both.
*happy*
