Here's where I saw it before:

I hope it still works, but I'm on a Mac now and it's IE and Windows only. It
*does* use "fullscreen" to open a chromeless window, but then it resizes the
window using Javascript (the user cannot resize a chromeless window).

If you use this, be kind to your users and give them as much window control
as they are used to: resizing, closing, etc., can all be done with
Javascript so you had better provide it.
