Fullscreen code

// 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!
