window.fullScreen=true is not working

Question

I would like to open my html page in fullscreen mode. I tried to execute this javascript in body's onload event handler.

window.fullScreen = true;

But unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working. Is there any other way with which we can achieve the same.

I dont think you can set the windows properties by using the onload event. Try setting the properties as you open the window. This should work...

<div onclick="window.open('http://stackoverflow.com', 'Stackoverflow' , 'type=fullWindow, fullscreen, scrollbars=yes');">
    Hello Stackoverflow!
</div>
