RoboHelp HTML

When user presses F1 for help, I would like the screen to be maximized. How do I make this the default?

rylee -

that should be easy enough - just add this to your default page:

<script language="JavaScript">
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);
</script>

I would suggest you rethink your plan, though. A lot of folks have large, high-res monitors; do you really want your help system to be 1600 by 1200 ? This can be really annoying to users who don't like their screen taken over.

Instead, I would test for the users' screen size, and go fullscreen if necessary, otherwise use an appropriate size for your help system for users of larger monitors.
