Maximising a Browser 1

[inta]

Is there a method to invoke the maximize browser function without using moveTo(0,0) and resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)

IE. Something along the lines of window.maximize

I am looking for this because when you use resizeTo, the browser isn't maximized, merely resized to the screen height and width.

Ideally, I would like the method to work with IE and NS from versions 4 up.

Thankyou for your assistance.

All of my JavaScript references do not have anything regarding physically maximizing a window.

If only there was a function called window.max! Oh well, untill then, I have this to offer:

function maximizeWindow() {
 if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3) {
  if (navigator.appName=="Netscape") {
   if (top.screenX>0 || top.screenY>0) top.moveTo(0,0);
   if (top.outerWidth < screen.availWidth)
      top.outerWidth=screen.availWidth;
   if (top.outerHeight < screen.availHeight) 
      top.outerHeight=screen.availHeight;
  }
  else {
   top.moveTo(-4,-4);
   top.resizeTo(screen.availWidth+8,screen.availHeight+8);
  }
 }
}

I've used it before, and it gets you as close to maximized as you can get.

Try this one

<script>
<!--
function maxwin(targeturl){
window.open(targeturl,&quot;&quot;,&quot;fullscreen,scrollbars&quot
}
//-->
</script>

<form>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;maxwin('
