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.
