html site completely full screen similar to flash full screen

I made a html5 video gallery that is going to be used as a kiosk. I now need it to be viewed in complete full screen mode with no tool bars, similar to when a flash site is in full screen. Is there a way to do this with javascript or jQuery? I was also thinking of calling it from a iframe inside a full screen flash site but dont know if this is possible. Any suggestions will help.

Thanks in advance.

At this time no there is not without having the user press f11. But there is an API in the works that is supposed to make this happen. https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Gecko:FullScreenAPI

Edit (Other options):
If you are wanting to work in kiosk mode then possibly John Kurlak's comment will help if you want to work in IE. Also, you can use add-ons such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/r-kiosk/?src=search. This way you can turn the browser into a kiosk and not worry about users getting back out.

I do not believe a website can force a page to go fullscreen. You can however have the browser start fullscreened and as long as you do not open a separate window it will remain fullscreened.

Could you not create it in a new window using window.open(), passing in fullscreen=true?
