How to make in 开发者_运维技巧Javascript full screen windows (stretching all over the screen)

I am designing a web app with the front-end in javascript and jQuery. It would make sense for the app to take over the client's entire screen (not to be confused with just the browser's viewport). Essentially, I would like the user to be able to click a button to enter into this fullscreen mode. (If you are aware of Netflix's fullscreen mode, that's the functionality I'm looking for.)

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I might implement this?

no way, josé!

This is a security feature to prevent spam and spoofing. It's up to the user to put his browser in fullscreen mode.

If that were possible without user intervention it would be a major security problem. Flash has a very controlled version of this which is only able to be triggered as a result of user input. I think that is what Netflix uses?

Something like this perhaps: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.resizeTo

If this were possible you would see it happen all the time with intrusive advertisements. Let's hope it remains impossible.
