Thanks guys ;)

This is not possible for main windows, only for dynamic created windows( created with window.open)

according to:

Quote:

  • You can't resize a window or tab that wasn’t created by window.open.
  • You can't resize a window or tab when it’s in a window with more than one tab.

The same of for chrome. Haven't checked IE/Safari though.

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

I found this method. But I can't make it work. Theoretically, it should be possible to change the width and height of the screen, using positive values.

window.resizeBy(xDelta, yDelta);

NO

You cannot do this

Control over the user's browser (minimize, maximize) is for the user only.
