I’m trying to use the html5 fullscreen api in a popup window, but I keep getting this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLElement> has no method 'webkitEnterFullScreen'

and here is my html :

<html lang="en"><head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
        <title>Negar - one</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/Negar/js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/Negar/js/viewer.js"></script>
        <style type="text/css">
        #main-content{height: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute;
            -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 1s ease-in;
               -moz-transition: -moz-transform 1s ease-in;
                -ms-transition: -ms-transform 1s ease-in;
                    transition: transform 1s ease-in;
            }
        </style>
    </head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="data:text/css,">

    <body>
        <section id="main-content">   some code here   </section>

</body></html>

and this is my function : 

$("#main-content").get(0).webkitEnterFullScreen();

    The request for entering fullscreen should probably be made from the user. You could try something like this to achieve what you’re trying to do:

    <script>
    function goFs(id) {
        var element = document.getElementById(id);

        if (element.mozRequestFullScreen) {
            element.mozRequestFullScreen();
        } else if (element.webkitRequestFullScreen) {
            element.webkitRequestFullScreen();
        }
    }
</script>

<div id="test">
    Hi there!
</div>

<button onclick="goFs('test');">Full screen?</button>

    Example: http://fiddle.jshell.net/73Wus/show/

    Note: I had to share the full jsFiddle page because iframe‘s require a special attribute to allow fullscreen, as shown below: 

    <iframe src="127.0.0.1" allowFullScreen></iframe>

    …Usual Fiddle can be found here.
