I've opened a page like this:

window.open("test.php","","fullscreen,scrollbars")

Can I in any way tell the user if he's running fullscreen or normal window? Like detecting it with javascript or something like that?

I don't think there is an easy way of detecting weather a page is full screan or not but if I open a window full screen with this code in it:


<html>
<head>
<script Language='JavaScript'>


if (window.screen) {
document.write("Screen width: " + window.screen.availWidth);
document.write("Screen height: " + window.screen.availHeight);

}
if (document.layers) {
width = window.innerWidth;
height = window.innerHeight;
}
else if (document.all) {
width = document.body.clientWidth;
height = document.body.clientHeight;
}

document.write("Page width: " + width);
document.write("Page height: " + height);


</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>


the output is:
Screen width: 1024
Screen height: 740
Page width: 1024
Page height: 768

so, what you could do is just do a comparision between screen size and page size and if screen size is a lot bigger than page size, then you know the page isn't being displyed fullscreen.

I hope this has been of help to you.

I'm sorry. I hadn't had time until now testing it. It helped me. But I left that fullscreen thing. Thanks for the help.
