Help - Code discrepency - Full Screen code

[kurson]

Hi All.

Thank you all for participating on this forum topic.

To jscheuer1: your code below works:

var newWin=window.open(whatever)
newWin.moveTo(0,0);
newWin.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);

ONE LAST THING:

I do not want the window to move once it's been popped up. I need to someone greyout and disable the "Restore Down" icon at the top right hand corner of the title bar (and perhaps the minimize and close icons too)

Does anyone out there know how to do that?

Any advice is appreciated.

It is not possible.

Hi all

Thank you for participating on this forum board thread.

How does one "DOCK" The Internet Explorer window?

I know that this is possible. The ability to make the IE window not move so it's not draggable.

This should be a simple one-liner for those that are in the know.

Any feedback is appreicated.

Well, this might work:

window.onmove = function(){window.moveTo(0,0);return false;};

But it still sounds like something that should be blocked by most modern browsers. I know it won't work with Firefox.

Hi.

In reply to Jscheuer1, I implemented your code

var newWin=window.open(whatever)
newWin.moveTo(0,0);
newWin.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);

Locally it works great. My page pops open and takes up the full screen.

On the live site, from my server, The new window does not cover the bottom of the window where the start icon, minimize tray and CPU clock lives.

Do you or anyone else understand why there is this discrepancy?

Is there specific code I may write that says cover this region as well?

Your continued participation on this thread is appreciated.

What is your target browser and is this for the web or for a local intranet?

Hi jscheuer1.

My code is for IE on the web. I also run it locally on a single machine running IIS.

It shows two different results. Locally the page spans the screen, This sdoes not occur on-line, on the web, the start menu and icon bar displaying at the bottom of the screen. I'm stumped.

Have you tried the 'fullscreen' specification from post#10 in this thread?

Anyways, it may be security feature or be because IE has more time to allow for the taskbar due to the lag time of running the code from the web.
