window.open() Maximized?

[kurtmo5]

This function accepts a url which then is opened by the window.open(). How can I get this window to be full size or maximized? Thanks a lot.

<script language="javascript">
function openPop(url);
{
window.open(url);
}
</script>

function openPop(url);
{
window.open(url,'','height=400,width=780'); //fixed
//window.open(url,'','height='+screen.height+',width='+screen.width); as per user's screen
}

Need to be careful not to confuse "full size" window with "maximized" window..... not the same. You can easily control the window size as mentioned above, but can not MAXIMIZE the screen using JavaScript. The effect of not being maximized would be that vertical scrolling may not function (or even be available) if the window isn't maximized, and the user may not realize that there is more info "below the fold".

For whatever it's worth, I think IE4 had a window.open parameter called 'fullscreen,' but I guess they did away with that.

"fullscreen" is still supported in IE, but it still doesn't MAXIMIZE the window.
