when a user is on the intro page of my website and clicks on my website link I want it to open a separate fullscreen window!!

I know a lot of people don't like when a fullscreen is opened but I will have text on my main page letting users know that when they click on my website or blog link it will open a new fullscreen window.

I've been given javascript codes and what not from other people and had no luck! Please help me out if you have a chance Thanks

What they're looking for though, I think, is the JavaScript that makes the link not only open in a new window, but also *shudder* expand to the full size of your monitor resolution.

No shuttersbuddy.
They want it full screen of your monitor (like when you play games or watch movies).
Its used by terrible spam adverts.

I'll have to agree with everyone that you don't want to use this, but if you are wanting to anyway, you need to use the doctype of transitional and then add the target="_blank" at the end of your img tag.

I wonder if Thickbox could be used for this; whatever method you choose, you would absolutely have to make sure that you had a Close button top right.

Hello cassieblue,

Your problem regarding your page will link to another new full screen window will be solved here. You can use this code <a href="your url" target="_blank">Your text</a> for html code in your body...but if you wish to use javascript, I made this for you. Put this in your html code in your body: <a href="your url" onclick="newpage();">Your text</a> and for your javascript code: function newpage(){window.open('your url');} I hope I had helped you...For more info click this page and you will learn something from it.
