How to make the window full screen with Javascript (stretching all over the screen)

Question

How can I make a visitor\'s browser go fullscreen using JavaScript, in a way that works with IE, Firefox and Opera?

Answer 1

A Q&D way to go full screen, if you are in a "kiosk" situation, is to feed an F11 to the browser window after it's up and running. This is not pretty starting up and the user might be able to poke a touch screen at the top and get a semi-full-screen view, but feeding the F11 might do in a pinch or just to get started on a project.
