onload fullscreen?

Hello Experts

I have a page that currently uses this:
window.open("https://www.mysite.com/folder/page.aspx", "_blank", "location=no,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no,titlebar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,channelmode=yes,fullscreen=yes");

When the page loads and it calls this javascript a new window is opened with no toolbars or anything else. Unfortunately this is treated as a popup. How do I get around this? Is there something I can do without using window.open? I want the page to be in fullscreen mode basically without the toolbars/address bar etc.

It is a pop-up. There is no other way to do this unless you completely modify the browser.

Is there anyway to force the browser to go fullscreen on page load then?

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function fullscreen(theurl) {
window.open(theurl, '', 'fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=auto');
}
</script>
</head>
 
<body>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="fullscreen('http://www.webmasterworld.com');">open full screen window</a>
</body>
</html>

Open in new window

I need to actually load the page full screen without user interaction. Basically they are following a link that leads to my page that needs to be fullscreen. Is there a way to do this without having the user click another button/link?

MrMintanet

You can't do that unless you create your own custom web browser. This is very easy to do in VB.NET.

Ok, examples in vb.net?

That's for winforms. I need something I can do in webforms.
