Expand small window

I have a script which expands a window to the full width and height of the users screen:

function expand() {
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
}

But if the users window is maximized it actually reduces it slightly. Is there a way to invoke the above script only if the window is not maximized?

Thanks,
Matt

another thing:
the scrollbars on IE are 20px

Of course you're right. Then there has to be added even 20 pixels to this test

if((window.innerWidth + 30) > screen.availWidth) width = window.innerWidth;

Try out different values until you've reached the right one.

The height is harder because there's a different between Netscape and IE, and also differences between IE-users. Somebody uses fullscreen, others have in addition to standard toolbars special toolbars +++.

Scrollbars depends on user settings to that matter, not always is 20px.
