The obvious > response to this is "Flash can,?why can't HTML5?" and "well, let's just use > Flash then." Actually a web developer can already implement a HTML5 VIDEO FullScreen solution for Firefox. (Hope same can be with other HTML5 Browsers) Here are the steps * Provide a full screen control button. * Popup an overlay message is asking "Please confirm by pressing F11 key if you want to go Full Screen Mode VIDEO" * watch for window.onresize event * on window.onresize event - check we are doing the "overlay message" for FullScreen - then if window.fullScreen=true make the video big as window client area positioned topleft of th epage * Additionally on window.onload if window.fullScreen=true then ask user if he want to do full screen.
