View Full Version : availWidth/Height works in FF but not in IE

Hi there,

I have a startpage to launch my flash site in either Normal or Fullscreen (selectable by the user). The startpage in the background will load a thankyou page to be there once the user closes the flash site.

In Firefox it opens the normal window and the window without toolbar, status- and menubar like I want it to. The full width and height of the user screen. But in IE it opens these two windows a different, smaller size - WHY?

My resolution is 1280x800.

here's my code:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide
var ie = (document.all)? true:false
var isMac = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Mac') >0)? true:false;
function full() {
var wihe = 'width='+screen.availWidth+'height='+screen.availH eight;
window.open("home.html", "Home", "screenX=0,screenY=0,left=0,top=0" + wihe);
document.location = "end.html"
}
function normal(file) {
window.open(file)
document.location = "end.html"
}
// done hiding -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:full('home.html');">Launch Full</a>
<a href="javascript:normal('home.html');">Launch Normal</a>
</body>
</html>


I have also tried avail.width and avail.height - but these two don't seem to work in either Firefox nor IE.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

The Boskic.com script does work fullscreen for MIE browser but neither this nor the SirNapalm scripts work fullscreen in my Firefox browser. I checked the Firefox settings and see nothing likely related to this issue. Firefox delivers a small window rather than full screen window.

PS. 5/6/07
This issue is resolved.
This "configuration" is done from the view menu. (Full screen or F11).
I call it configuration because the setting survives the next time you run Firefox.
It seems strange that it was not selectable from the tools/options menu.
