There's a reason why my browser window only takes up 1/4 of my

Thank you for providing an English language version of

http://www.geocities.com/peace_cake....fullscreen.htm

which is referred to by the de.comp.lang.ja vascript FAQ.

Could you please keep your picture online and reduce its resolution so
that it can be used as a quick reference here and maybe in the cljs FAQ?

I have pull-down menus in javascript and I have the code for opening a link in a new window. But I want it to open a full-sized window. I can't figure out the syntax. What I have so far: Menu5_5_1=new Array("'Lonely Church","javascript:window.open ('http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2640310')","",0,20,300); That works fine, except I can't figure out how to modify it to make it open full-screen.
