Don't look at is as a question of "How do I trigger F11?" - look at is as "How do I trigger or simulate full-screen?"

With older versions of IE you can open a new window straight into full-screen:

window.open(someURLorOther, '', 'fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=auto');

Or you can use window.open to open a new window of a specific size.

Or you can try to resize the current window to fill the screen:

moveTo(0,0);
resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

However just because you can doesn't mean you should. You should never resize the current window - this annoys practically everyone. Opening a new window to a size you choose is more reasonable, though if it's too big it can be annoying, and on a normal web page (where by "normal" I probably mean not some kind of browser-based data-entry app) it is nicer not to open new windows.
