Detecting if a browser is in full screen mode

Question

Is there any way of reliably detecting if a browser is running in full screen mode? I\'m pretty sure there isn\'t any browser API I can query, but has anyone worked it out b

Answer 1

In Chrome at least:

onkeydown can be used to detect the F11 key being pressed to enter fullscreen. onkeyup can be used to detect the F11 key being pressed to exit fullscreen.

Use that in conjunction with checking for keyCode == 122

The tricky part would be to tell the keydown/keyup not to execute its code if the other one just did.
