Build ID: 2001082203
This worked OK with build ID 2001072403
Mozilla needs a way to open a full size window, same as clicking
the "maximize" button.
Whether this is achieved with the fullscreen parameter or not,
this does not matter to me.
The attached testcase utilises the "fullscreen" window attribute which worked OK
with build ID 2001072403.

Works also in build 2001080110.. just to narrow the regression date.

Summary: Maximized (zoomed) window with javascript as in classic and IE → [RFE] Maximized (zoomed) window with javascript as in classic and IE
Works again in Build 2001120603 on Win95.
May I ask where to find the documentation for window.open?
The way it works looks very good.

Doesn't work for me, there is no support for fullscreen=1, nor any other options
that would let you do this in mozilla AFAIK.
You are right, sorry. "fullscreen=1" doesn't work. I only got the desired
behavior because my opening window was maximised. BTW fullscreen as in IE is not
what I am after. Some users might panic with this. I am suggesting
"width=*,height=*" or something new such as "size=max".
Open windows maximized? Yargh! I'm curious why you want it. Personally if
advertising window spammers discovered they could take my entire screen if they
wanted, I'd have to spend the rest of my life flying to the remote hamlets where
advertisers live and kicking their butts. And I don't really have the time for
that. Heck now that I'm forced to ponder, I think new window sizes should be
constrained no larger than your current browser window.
By the way, see bug 61928 about the ability to maximize/minimize/restore an
extant window through script.
>Open windows maximized? Yargh! I'm curious why you want it.
Our applications use and mainly live in a full size window that the users open
themselves with a button. They know what they are doing and they want this.
>Personally if advertising window spammers discovered they could take my entire
screen if they wanted...
The worst of them have always done this anyway and they use the technique that
you are referring to (bug 61928). I think advertising pop-ups are the size they
are not because the programmers don't know how to make full size windows but
because the site designers want them to be exactly the size they are.
>Heck now that I'm forced to ponder, I think new window sizes should be
constrained no larger than your current browser window.
That would definitely break our application and we would have to abandon the
browser interface and use Java Webstart instead if Netscape gains market share.
So far, MSIE performs best as far as maximising is concerned because it allows
to simulate the maximised state by specifying negative screen origin
coordinates, only 3 or 4 pixels off the screen.
That is what our users like because they are not happy having to click the
maximise button after the new window is opened.
I think that after so many years it is maybe time that browsers start supporting
decent window handling. Please also refer to bug 5363 and Bug 24684.
We still don't have the fundamental features on the top level (window) which is sad.

[RFE] is deprecated in favor of severity: enhancement. They have the same meaning.
Severity: normal → enhancement
