Hi!

I am creating a staff intranet page for the school I work at. The page works best when it is fully maximised (not full screen mode). However some PC's in the school open at like 40% width and height. I was just wondering if there was anyway to force the window to 100% width and height?

Thanks,

Nick

Do you mean open IE windows maximized? You can't control that from within your page...

When a member of staff opens IE, It will re-direct to my HTML page. It would be ideal if I could force the window to open at full width, as we have many different monitors/resolutions in the school.

I got you. You can't do that from your web page...

Not even with additional JS?

You page is hosted INSIDE the browser, but has no access to the browser or its properties...

If you want to use non-standard functionality it is of course up to you (moveTo, resizeTo, availHeight and availWidth are all not standard DOM methods/properties)...You will be surprised on how much browsers it does NOT work...

XML

<script language="JavaScript">
window.onload = maxWindow;

function maxWindow()
{
window.moveTo(0,0);


if (document.all)
{
  top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
}

else if (document.layers||document.getElementById)
{
  if (top.window.outerHeight<screen.availHeight||top.window.outerWidth<screen.availWidth)
  {
    top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
    top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
  }
}
}

</script>
