filling an entire screen

Is there any way that i can make a web page fill the entire screen of the end users computer? I would like to make it so that there are no scroll bars, tool bars, borders, etc.

Thanks in advance!

well, wudnt that be unwise? not to say annoying. and you would only be gaining a little bit of space anyway. not to mention all the compatability issues.
anyway i dont think it is possible unless you had a popup and just made it resize to the full screen.
id certainly rethink doing this. you dont ideally want to force things, like this, on your users.
incidently theres a good popup generator that would help you add all the options (or remove them lol) here.

why would you want to do this btw?

oyea in ie(nt sure about firefox, didnt check) if u press f11 you can get a full screen.

One thing to remember is that the average user doesn't want you to mess with their precious Toolbar. You will have some people leave your site and never come back solely because of this.

This will seriously need some reconsideration. Ask yourself WHY you need to do this. Is it really nessesary.

If it is, can you explain why?

It used to be possible in IE using a chromeless window popup and some fairly fancy Javascript, but it doesn't work anymore and, like everyone else has mentioned, why would you want to do this?
