Chrome Fullscreen API

Question

According to this article Google Chrome 15 has a fullscreen JavaScript API.

I have tried to make it work but failed. I have also searched for official documentation

Here are some functions I created for working with fullscreen in the browser.

They provide both enter/exit fullscreen across most major browsers.

function isFullScreen()
{
    return (document.fullScreenElement && document.fullScreenElement !== null)
         || document.mozFullScreen
         || document.webkitIsFullScreen;
}


function requestFullScreen(element)
{
    if (element.requestFullscreen)
        element.requestFullscreen();
    else if (element.msRequestFullscreen)
        element.msRequestFullscreen();
    else if (element.mozRequestFullScreen)
        element.mozRequestFullScreen();
    else if (element.webkitRequestFullscreen)
        element.webkitRequestFullscreen();
}

function exitFullScreen()
{
    if (document.exitFullscreen)
        document.exitFullscreen();
    else if (document.msExitFullscreen)
        document.msExitFullscreen();
    else if (document.mozCancelFullScreen)
        document.mozCancelFullScreen();
    else if (document.webkitExitFullscreen)
        document.webkitExitFullscreen();
}

function toggleFullScreen(element)
{
    if (isFullScreen())
        exitFullScreen();
    else
        requestFullScreen(element || document.documentElement);
}
