Full Screen Expanding Window

David Sosnowski Apr 5, 2001

Launches a rapidly expanding window that moves down and across the screen until it fills the entire screen area (IE) in fullscreen mode. The script then loads your content page into the fullscreen view.

Click Here To Launch Page

To launch automatically, simply add onload="andBoom();" to your <body> tag, like this:

<body onload="andBoom()">

Be sure to include a way to Close the Window

The JavaScript Source: Navigation: Full Screen Expanding Window

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the script, and copy (type Control-c or Apple-c) the script into a new file in your text editor (such as Note Pad or Simple Text) and save (Control-s or Command-s). The script is yours!!!

<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL FULL SCREEN EXPANDING WINDOW:

1.  Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
  2.  Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document  -->

<HEAD>

<!-- Begin

/*
In the url, it's generally best to use a *relative* address
to your content page with this script; otherwise, IE loses
its sense of "parentage" over the window, and may throw
errors on attempts to relaunch when the fullscreen window is 
already open.
*/

// set the page to go to...
url = "yourpage.html";

// set how fast to expand horizontally
// lower is slower
var speedX = 7;

// set how fast to expand vertically
// lower is slower
var speedY = 5;

// set background color of "Loading..." screen
var bgColor = "#000000";

// set text color of "Loading..." screen
var txtColor = "#FF80000";

// do not edit below this line
// ---------------------------
if (document.all) {
var wide = window.screen.availWidth;
var high = window.screen.availHeight;
}
function andBoom() {
if (document.all) {
var Boomer = window.open("","BoomWindow","fullscreen");
Boomer.document.write('<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR='+bgColor+' SCROLL=NO><FONT FACE=ARIAL COLOR='+txtColor+'>Loading...</FONT></BODY></HTML>');
Boomer.focus();
for (H=1; H<high; H+= speedY) {
Boomer.resizeTo(1,H);
}
for (W=1; W<wide; W+= speedX) {
Boomer.resizeTo(W,H);
}
Boomer.location = url;
}  
else {
window.open(url,"BoomWindow","");
   }
}
//  End -->
</script>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<a href="javascript:andBoom()">Click Here To Launch Page</a>

Be sure that the page you link to has a link to close the window:  <a href="javascript:window.close();">Close Window</a>
