I want to put the user in full screen mode when they first visit my site, is there a code anyone knows of that can do this? I've searched around a few big javascript sites and nothing.

I'm going to hate myself in the morning for giving out this information, as it only makes the web a worse place to be... but here it is:

Code: Select all

window.open(location.href, "", "fullscreen, scrollbars");
It only works in IE5+. Gecko browsers open a full screen with a title bar, and I'm not sure about Opera. This is considered a "bug" by Microsoft, and is supposed to be removed in the upcoming IE7.

Be careful what you use this for - it could end up turning a lot of people away.
