There's a reason why my browser window only takes up 1/4 of my
desktop. Don't mess with user's preferences.

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.javascript 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?

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not
the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.
