You can specify the width and height if you use javascript (window.open) to open a page. I'm don't think that you can force the browser to run full screen though (although maybe IE will allow you with an ActiveX control?).

Hi

But certainly not works in my FireFox. My browser has to listen to me and to change its size when I want. I usually leave a site immediately when encounter such stupid behaviour.

I would tend to agree.
But in all fairness there are instances when you may want to do something like this.
How about you are launching a game or something and you tell the user the window will be full screen?

Hi
I prefer to press F11 for fullscreen myself, when I feel the need.
While peoples use different resolutions and now with the wide screens even different ratio, I do not think is a good idea at all that a document resizes the application window.
If is necessary, a message can inform the user about the special requirements of the content.
