I agree. This would be in response to something the user clicks indicating they want a full-screen view temporarily. Getting rid of all the browser toolbars, menus, etc. Maybe just a way to have a button that triggers the F11? I'd like to remain in the same window, but maybe the window.open is perhaps a backup solution if I can't find a better one. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!
