Preserved Topic: Simple javascript..... (Page 1 of 1)

Ok, I'm much more of an image guru than a coder, i.e. I suck with javascript. With that out on the table, I'm working on a site that goes into fullscreen mode (covering every inch of the screen). I know how to do this in ie, but I'm not sure if NN supports it. Does anyone know?

<TWOCENTS>Personally, I absolutely cannot stand when a site takes control of my browser and resizes it beyond what I personally have set. If I can, a will resize it back to where I had it. If I can't, I leave. I consider a designer--with very few exceptions--who disregards my personal browsing desires and requirements to accomodate his design to be lazy and inconsiderate.</TWOCENTS>

You may or may not choose to activate support of the above tag. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

That said, NN does not have a full-screen mode like that of IE, but you can create a new window and define its size and which toolbars appear.

If you are talking about the special mode where IE takes up your whole screen (Not a browser window expanded to it's fullest, The answer is no NN does not support it, however it can be faked using a JS popup window with no toolbar etc. expanded to the size of the window.

Thanks for the help...I added a browser bar with back, forward, stop, refresh, and close...so it shouldn't be as annoying. If you use IE, not sure if netscape supports this mode either, but there is a fullscreen browser mode (if you hit f11). I was wondering what the code for ie/netscape if supported is for this view. As for being lazy and inconsiderate, I'm sure I'll be giving the option to view in normal browser mode.

I didn't mean that you were necessarily being lazy and inconsiderate. I've just been seeing way too many sites lately that automatically resize my browser without asking me (and half the time launch a new window with absolutely no navigational controls). If you provide an option ahead of time, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
