Question

How can Google Docs go fullscreen in JavaScript?
In a Google Docs Presentation, when you press the fullscreen button at the lower left corner of the window, the window goes fullscreen.
It is not Flash so I am curious that how can Google do that?

Note that it is not creating a big window that fits the screen (that’s fake fullscreen). It is actually in fullscreen mode, and Google Chrome asked for my permission.

It seems they are using the technique described in this article: http://www.thecssninja.com/javascript/fullscreen

// Mozilla
element.mozRequestFullScreen();

// Webkit
element.webkitRequestFullscreen();

Edit: That article forgets to mention that if you want the whole page fullsreen you can do document.body.webkitRequestFullscreen();.
