But what have you tried?  The following?

   window.moveTo(0,0);
   window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);

It doesn't actually maximize the window, but is as good as maximized.
Unless you want the Full-Screen view (F11).

The ability to move and resize windows in JavaScript is configurable
in Firefox, the above works when it is allowed, also works in IE,
Mozilla and Netscape.  I can't get Opera to do it at all.  Not tried
Safari.
