How can I change the web browser window state to Fullscreen in javascript(Like when user press F11)? I know how can I specify Window State of new Window that has been opened by Window.Open Method but I want to change the sate of current Window.
You can't and you shouldn't do this.
You shouldn't do this, because it is a annoying user experience. So let the user decide and maybe ask him to press the button for fullscreen mode, but never force him.
You can't because the browser vendors disabled this feature for the reasons of my last point.
Minimal workarround would be to set the window size of the new window to something close to the screen resolution, but this could be tricky if the user has a dual screen.
You can't.
Just ask for the user to press to press F11 and then detect if the user pressed it by checking the key code 122 (eg: keyup event) and comparing the size of the window with the size of the screen (screen.width/height and window.innerWidth/Height).
It's not perfect, specially for users with multiple screens.
You can open a window without toolbars with JS:
window.open("http://www.stackoverflow.com","mywindow","menubar=0,resizable=1,toolbar=0,status=0,width=5000,height=5000");
It will probably be blocked by popup blockers, but that is the most you can do.
So far I know, it is only possible with security privileges, like in an intranet.
For example:
The InternetExplorer.Application ActiveX objects have a "fullScreen" method.
In Firefox 3+, if you have Chrome-privileges you can use "window.fullScreen = true;"
but without those privileges this property is read-only ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM:window.fullScreen ).
Easy.
<strong>Please view in fullscreen (F11 on most browsers).</strong>
Here's why
No, there's no cheat to remove control of a browser from the user.

I would like to know if, in Javascript in general (and in Angular in particular), it is possible to check if the browser window has been previously resized by the user, e.g. if the user has landed on my page on an already resized browser.
Thanks in advance,
I have write a test site, when user begin test, i will open a new window, and i don't want user can change the browser window, how could i check the user is always on my window, i can only thought to check whether the user is pressing the alt+tab or the mouser is leave the window use javascript. So, Are there any other better solution?Thanks!
I don't think there are any other solutions.
The browsers wouldn't let you do this.
But I can't see how it would work with the solutions you have:
- You can't set the position of the cursor, so you can't stop the mouse in leaving the window,
- You can't stop the system in using the Alt+tab, you can only controle the browser window.
But if you're getting it work, please write your solution in this threat, thanks
I can use window.open resizable=no to disable/grey out the maximize button, but when I try to use dialog=yes,minimizable=no the minimize button won't grey out/disable, Please help me find a way to disable this minimize button, Thanks!
I want to apply this setting to a kiosk computer because I dont want user to minimize their browser and leave their credential open for the next person
"Dialog" and "Minimizable" are not valid options. You cannot, and should not, prevent a user from being able to minimize a window on their desktop.
If you wish to run the browser on a Kiosk, I would suggest loading the browser in Kiosk mode.
I have a function that I want to open up a URL in a new tab on a click event, but not give that tab focus. Is this possible with javascript?
You can't steal focus from a newly opened window. It's a security feature preventing sites from "taking control" of your browser. That would be a browser configuration setting.
As far as "hiding" focus from a popup, you might be thinking of what's called "PopUnder". Basically you use window.open() and set the option _blank and the paramater alwaysLowered, but it will not work gracefully for an average website. It requires you to have a signed script and take advantage of the Netscape Security PrivilegeManager, like this:
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalPreferencesRead UniversalBrowserAccess"); // etc...
Sorry bro :)
You can attempt to open a new window, then set focus back to the current window. However, user settings may make this impossible, or it might already be the default behaviour.
Pop–unders are used by some web sites probably to disassociate the web site from the window (i.e. so you don't know where it came frome). So they are assuming a certain naivety on behalf of the user. They are considered spam and treated with the same contempt.
If you outline what it is you are trying to achieve using a pop–under, you might get advice on better ways of doing it. Or not. :-)
To my knowledge it is impossible bro.Since the user's browser Settings will conflict with your logic
is there a javascript script that auto fullscreen mode the browser? example if you visit my site, the browser will auto fullscreen upon load..
Please, don't do this. You shouldn't resize the browser, that's the user's choice to make.
If I have my browser at a certain size, and your site is one of 20 tabs, why should the other 20 be resized?
If you're using window.open() to open a new window and want to specify a size, that's fine, but don't resize the browser. Most browsers actively block this, for a reason.
I looked into this once and like Nick said browsers do not allow you to control setting fullscreen for security reasons e.g. think malicious website recreating the toolbar to trick users. The closest you can get to it is explaining to the user in a ribbon or popup the first time they visit, how to get to fullscreen and letting them make the decision. Then the trick is check for the keypress on f11 assuming that's how you had the user do it.
The only place I wish it was allowed for the site to go fullscreen is webapps.
