Full screen open and close

[marcela24]

I'm using this function to open a window in full screen mode and then to close it when its already in full screen.

function fullwin()
{
if (this.name!='fullscreen'){
window.open("central.asp","","fullscreen,scrollbars&quot
}
else
{
window.close(self)
}
}

The problem is that this code always do the "if", it never does the "else".
Of course there's a problem in this.name, but i don't know what's wrong cause iam newbie in Java Script. Could you help me?

in this context, "this" would refer to the window object, so the else code would only execute if the window had been named "fullscreen"

how are you intending this to work? is the user clicking a button to close the window?

or if you want the window to "fix" itself to fullscreen, maybe this is what you're looking for:

if (this.name != "fullscreen&quot {
window.open(location.pathname,"fullscreen", "fullscreen,scrollbars"
window.opener = self;
window.close();
}

Actually i have a button in the page that do both the things, open in full screen and close the full screen.
When i first loads the page it is in normal size, than the user could click in a button to open the window in full screen and then he could also clik inthis same button to close the full screen window. The button calls the function iam trying to do in the click event.

then it looks like all you need to do is name the new window:

function fullwin()
{
if (this.name!='fullscreen'){
window.open("central.asp","fullscreen","fullscreen,scrollbars&quot
}
else
{
window.close(self)
}
}
