We are trying to get our web app to run as a full screen web app. I got this to work using these meta tags:
Here's a nice tutorial on How to user HTML5 fullscreen api
From that, to exit Full screen:
if (document.exitFullscreen) {
document.exitFullscreen();
} else if (document.webkitExitFullscreen) {
document.webkitExitFullscreen();
} else if (document.mozCancelFullScreen) {
document.mozCancelFullScreen();
} else if (document.msExitFullscreen) {
document.msExitFullscreen();
}
You can write the above code in any DOM element's click method like, say using jquery:
$("#exitFullScreen").click(function(){
// the above code
if (document.exitFullscreen) {
document.exitFullscreen();
} else if (document.webkitExitFullscreen) {
document.webkitExitFullscreen();
} else if (document.mozCancelFullScreen) {
document.mozCancelFullScreen();
} else if (document.msExitFullscreen) {
document.msExitFullscreen();
}
});
