How to disable maximize option in browser using javascript

Question

How to disable maximise option in browser using javascript. I have tried the below code but is not working in some browsers. Is there any other option?

function onReady() {
window.open("https://www.google.com.au","myWindow","resizable=no");
}

Answer 1

You probably can't do that anymore.

According to MDN, the dialog option will do that, but it will only remove the buttons, not the menu commands for it.

function onReady() {
    window.open("https://www.google.com.au","myWindow","dialog=yes,resizable=no");
}

But, you can only use it with "Chrome" privileges, which you probably don't have.

Also be aware that if you're calling this in response to jQuery's ready pseudo-event as the name of the function implies, at least some browsers will prevent your code from opening that window because it's not in direct response to a user event. But if you're calling it in response to a user event, that's not an issue.

Answer 2

You cannot (consistently). Deliberately malicious actions are generally restricted by browsers.

But what You can do is..

window.open("mypage.html","mywindowname", "toolbar=no,menubar=no");

WIll give you a new window without the menubar and without the toolbar. If you just want to disable the functionality while still showing the buttons, then you can't.

Look Here for a reference on the window.open() method.
