I'm trying to force my html5 player to go into fullscreen as soon as the page loads, I've tried with different solutions I could find around, but none seemes to work for me
Here is the code I'm working with
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="it">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Grazie e arrivederci</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../stili.css">
</head>
<body onload="requestFullScreen()">
<video width=960 height=540 id="grazieVid" controls autoplay>
<source src="grazie.mp4"></source>
</video>
<script>
function requestFullScreen() {
var element = document.getElementById("grazieVid");
// Supports most browsers and their versions.
var requestMethod = element.requestFullScreen || element.webkitRequestFullScreen || element.mozRequestFullScreen || element.msRequestFullScreen;
if (requestMethod) { // Native full screen.
requestMethod.call(element);
} else if (typeof window.ActiveXObject !== "undefined") { // Older IE.
var wscript = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
if (wscript !== null) {
wscript.SendKeys("{F11}");
}
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>HTML 5 provides no way to make a video fullscreen, but the parallel Fullscreen API defines an API for elements to display themselves fullscreen.
This can be applied to any element, including videos.
Browser support is good, but Internet Explorer and Safari need prefixed versions.
An external demo is provided as Stack Snippet sandboxing rules break it.
<div id="one">
One
</div>
<div id="two">
Two
</div>
<button>one</button>
<button>two</button>
addEventListener("click", event => {
const btn = event.target;
if (btn.tagName.toLowerCase() !== "button") return;
const id = btn.textContent;
const div = document.getElementById(id);
if (div.requestFullscreen)
div.requestFullscreen();
else if (div.webkitRequestFullscreen)
div.webkitRequestFullscreen();
else if (div.msRequestFullScreen)
div.msRequestFullScreen();
});
