FullScreen is a stack that was built on behalf of several RapidWeaver users requesting one on the RapidWeaver forums. As the name suggests, this stack instructs a web browser to open a page element at full screen when clicked, thus doing away with nasty old Flash player code and the complications of modal windows or lightboxes. In other words, you tell the web browser what to open at full screen, and the FullScreen stack does it for you (in supported browsers)!
To use, simply add a single FullScreen stack to your page and drop the content inside that you want displayed at fullscreen; anything you prefer including text, images or video. When clicked, the content will zoom to fullscreen. Try the example below now by clicking on it:

Compatibility
The FullScreen stack will only work in newer, HTML5 compliant web browsers; like the latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera. This website details where the fullscreen API is supported. Since its release, this stack now works with many more web browsers.You may see big inconsistencies in the way different web browsers handle HTML5 full screen mode. Some let you change the window shade colour, element width and other styling. Others are much more restrictive and prefer to handle things their way. Some web browsers will ask first if a user wishes to enter full screen mode, and others will just do it without any popup message or notification.
