[Javascript] Maximizing your own window

[William T. Simmons]

Robert,
This works for me (square brackets substituted for angle brackets for
readability in diverse clients):

[script language=JavaScript][!--
resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
--][/script]

That will resize a page loaded into a non-maximized window, i.e., maximize
the window, if included after the opening BODY tag. To invoke the maximizing
code from a button or other type of link, you can make a form button and
give it the following onClick event handler:
onClick="javascript:resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)"

If the window is non-maximized and not tiled to the top left corner, you can
maximize it and tile it to the top left corner with the addition of a
"moveTo" statement:
onClick="javascript:resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
moveTo(0,0)"

HTH,
