I am trying to write an event handler that detects whether a video player I have is in fullscreen or 'regular' mode.
I have tried using
document.addEventListener("fullscreenchange", myfunc, false);
but this doesn't work in IE, I have implemnted the same thing for firefox and chrome using webkitfullscreenchange and mozfullscreenchange event. Is there any other event I can use in IE for this? Or another way of doing this?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You have jQuery, so use it:
var screen_change_events = "webkitfullscreenchange mozfullscreenchange fullscreenchange MSFullscreenChange";
$(document).on(screen_change_events, function () {
});
(addEventListener
isn't supported in versions earlier than IE 9 anyways)
At the same time, it doesn't look like full screen is supported in any version of IE:
MDN Reference:
Here's a possible hack around it:
There is a jQuery plugin named jquery-fullscreen that will do exactly what you want. Until the Fullscreen-API standard has crystallized this is probably the best option.
You can also use the Modernizr fullscreen-api check and shim it if the browser doesn't support it by firing the event yourself (see this question for a detection method)
