Interesting idea. Unfortunately, it works only as long as oneself or the authors of the resources navigated to are not running a general frame breaker. So that would need to be adapted to recognize the iframe that one wants, and there is no remedy for when you navigate to other sites. I am at a loss to see the logic in the decision-making process of browser vendors here. The fullscreen mode cannot be enabled without user interaction either way (“Failed to execute 'requestFullScreen' on 'Element': API can only be initiated by a user gesture.”), and if the user is enabling fullscreen mode without script involvement using e.g. the F11 key, the browser window *stays* in fullscreen mode until the user disables it *even when navigating*. Why can it not just stay in fullscreen mode as well if enabling the mode is scripted? It’s a bug, not a feature. -- PointedEars FAQ: | SVN: Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
