if opening a fullscreen window on a click is possible then y can't on onLoad event.
It's a matter of user experience. If they've clicked a link, you can be pretty sure they wanted the popup. If you're doing it in an onLoad: 1) the user hasn't asked for it 2) it could be used to mislead the user (imagine opening a fullscreen window which looked exactly like a maximised browser, but every click redirected to evil spyware... it has been done, apparently). This is why the security restrictions are in place. h. On 31/01/07, Ravi Marella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanx for all the replies, but I understood that I can't do wat I exactly want to i.e. opening a popup window by itself because of so called security resturictions; but wat I really don't understand is if opening a fullscreen window on a click is possible then y can't on onLoad event...i mean it doesn't make user any difference whether the window has become fullscreen because of a click or onLoad...

Then you can control the size and properties of the window as much as you like, and the user doesn't get the surprise of his/her browser opening way up unexpectedly.
