简单的例子:http://www.longtailvideo.com/blog/26517/using-the-browsers-new-html5-fullscreen-capabilities/

<script type="text/javascript">
  function goFullscreen(id) {
    // Get the element that we want to take into fullscreen mode
    var element = document.getElementById(id);

    // These function will not exist in the browsers that don't support fullscreen mode yet, 
    // so we'll have to check to see if they're available before calling them.

    if (element.mozRequestFullScreen) {
      // This is how to go into fullscren mode in Firefox
      // Note the "moz" prefix, which is short for Mozilla.
      element.mozRequestFullScreen();
    } else if (element.webkitRequestFullScreen) {
      // This is how to go into fullscreen mode in Chrome and Safari
      // Both of those browsers are based on the Webkit project, hence the same prefix.
      element.webkitRequestFullScreen();
   }
   // Hooray, now we're in fullscreen mode!
  }
</script>

<img class="video_player" src="image.jpg" id="player"></img>
<button onclick="goFullscreen('player'); return false">Click Me To Go Fullscreen! (For real)</button>

这是JavaScript中最接近全屏的效果:

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = maxWindow;

    function maxWindow() {
        window.moveTo(0, 0);

        if (document.all) {
            top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
        }

        else if (document.layers || document.getElementById) {
            if (top.window.outerHeight < screen.availHeight || top.window.outerWidth < screen.availWidth) {
                top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
                top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
            }
        }
    }
</script> 

既然全屏api越来越广泛，而且似乎越来越成熟，为什么不试试Screenfull.js呢?我昨天第一次使用它，今天我们的应用程序在(几乎)所有浏览器中真正全屏!

确保它与CSS中的:fullscreen伪类相结合。详见https://www.sitepoint.com/use-html5-full-screen-api/。

幸运的是，对于毫无戒心的网络用户来说，这不能用javascript完成。你需要编写特定于浏览器的插件，如果它们还不存在的话，然后以某种方式让人们下载它们。你能得到的最接近的是一个最大化的窗口，没有工具或导航栏，但用户仍然能够看到url。

窗口.open(“http://www.wege.com”，“标题”，“类型”=fullWindow, fullscreen, scrollbars=yes);“>

这通常被认为是不好的做法，因为它从用户那里删除了很多浏览器功能。

在Firefox 10中，你可以使用以下javascript使当前页面全屏(没有窗口chrome的真正全屏):

window.fullScreen = true;

这里有一个完整的解决方案，以进入和退出全屏模式(即取消，退出，退出)

        function cancelFullScreen() {
            var el = document;
            var requestMethod = el.cancelFullScreen||el.webkitCancelFullScreen||el.mozCancelFullScreen||el.exitFullscreen||el.webkitExitFullscreen;
            if (requestMethod) { // cancel full screen.
                requestMethod.call(el);
            } else if (typeof window.ActiveXObject !== "undefined") { // Older IE.
                var wscript = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
                if (wscript !== null) {
                    wscript.SendKeys("{F11}");
                }
            }
        }

        function requestFullScreen(el) {
            // Supports most browsers and their versions.
            var requestMethod = el.requestFullScreen || el.webkitRequestFullScreen || el.mozRequestFullScreen || el.msRequestFullscreen;

            if (requestMethod) { // Native full screen.
                requestMethod.call(el);
            } else if (typeof window.ActiveXObject !== "undefined") { // Older IE.
                var wscript = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
                if (wscript !== null) {
                    wscript.SendKeys("{F11}");
                }
            }
            return false
        }

        function toggleFullScreen(el) {
            if (!el) {
                el = document.body; // Make the body go full screen.
            }
            var isInFullScreen = (document.fullScreenElement && document.fullScreenElement !== null) ||  (document.mozFullScreen || document.webkitIsFullScreen);

            if (isInFullScreen) {
                cancelFullScreen();
            } else {
                requestFullScreen(el);
            }
            return false;
        }
