Maximise browser when the page opens - is this possible?

[jadedev]

Hi,

I am creating a HTML page. What I want to do is maximise the browser when the page is opened.

It is not possible to alter the size/position of the current browser window from HTML/JavaScript. It would be a breach of security and certainly an annoyance for most users if you could.

You do, however, have some control over new windows (ie. popups), but that is dependent on browser settings and there is always the possibility it may be blocked entirely.

certainly an annoyance

Especially those who are using very large screens so they can run a browser and other appplications at the same time. I'm glad that web technology reserves some controls for the end user.
