full screen problem

[pelicanpaul]

Hi all,

To bring your presentation to full screen is a wonderfull thing. With colin moocks full screen method:

http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/launchwindow/fullscreen/index.html

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.open('demo_giu_FS.html','newwindow','width= '+(screen.width - 10)+',height='+(screen.height - 30)+',screenX=0,screenY=0,directories=0,fullscreen =1,location=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,tool bar=0')
// --->
</script>

this seems possible. However at further assessment we see it don't work.

for example:
IE5 on a mac
Netscape 4.7 on a mac

You end up with a mere popup window... not full screen.

Anyone have a better way to go full screen or a more full-proof solution???

try this ---

<!-- Begin
if (this.name!='fullscreen'){
window.open(location.href,'fullscreen','fullscreen ,scrollbars')
}
// End -->
</script>


If that does not work for you then I suggest detecting the page size using JS, then directing their browser to a FLASH site that is more useable at their resolution.

NOTE: 95% of all web surfers use MSIE or similar program. I don't know anyone who designs web with a mac either.

Also, you can detect with JS if they are using Netscape and have a special page for them that directs them to Upgrade their browser to MSIE. My personal favorite :o)
