Re: Open window full screen

IE allows fullscreen, NS doesn't, you will still have the title bar.

Here's a script that I wrote some years back on a dhtml site:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
function myFullscreen(page) {
  window.open('(page +".htm")' ,'myName','width='+ window.screen.width +
',height=' + window.screen.height + ',top=0,left=0,');
}
function mybrowserVer(){
  ver      = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
  name     = navigator.appName ;
  netscape = (name == "Netscape");
  msie     = (name == "Microsoft Internet Explorer");
  ver4     = (ver == 4);
  wscreen  = window.screen.width;
  hscreen  = window.screen.height;
  if ( msie && ver4 && wscreen >= 800 && hscreen >= 600){
  myFullscreen("sriniscript");}
  else {
  if (netscape && ver4 && wscreen >= 800 && hscreen >= 600){
  myFullscreen("nssriniscript");}
  else{
  if ( msie || netscape && ver4 && wscreen < 800 && hscreen < 600){
  self.location.href = "nonsize.htm"}
  else{
  self.location.href = "other.htm";  }
  }
  }
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>

This opens up the page in fullscreen (the title bar remains), ofcourse if
you want the super kiosk mode the following works only in IE

window.open("blah.html",pageName,"width=...,height=.....etc......,fullscreen
=1);

| Hi All!
|
| Question:
|
| I need to put an html file on a CD and use the autorun.inf file to open
| that file in a browser automatically. I haven't actually had time yet to
| burn a CD and test that a browser will indeed launch and that the
| appropriate file will be in that browser. But, I'm guessing it will. I'm
| planing on using something like this for the inf file:
|
| [autorun]
| myfile.html
| ICON=myicon.ico
|
| If anyone knows that that won't work, could you please let me know and
| perhaps suggest to me what you've found that will launch a browser and
| specific html file automatically from the CD.  Assuming that it does
| work, though, how do I make that browser open full screen on any
| possible monitor set up a user might have - with no menu, status, tool
| bars, etc. etc. - most importantly, full screen.
|
| Thanks in advance to all,
|
| Rick K.
