HTML Canvas Full Screen

I'm playing with the following application using the HTML Canvas: http://driz.co.uk/particles/

At the moment it is set to 640x480 pixels, but I would like to make it full screen as it will be shown a projector. However as far as I can tell I cannot set the canvas size to be 100% as the variables only except numbers and not the %. Using CSS just stretches it rather than making it actual full screen.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Tried finding the height and width using jQuery but it breaks the canvas any ideas why?

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();


var canvas;
var ctx;
var canvasDiv;
var outerDiv;

var canvasW = $j('body').width();
var canvasH = $j('body').height();

//var canvasW     = 640;
//var canvasH     = 480;

Solution 1:

The javascript has

var canvasW     = 640;
var canvasH     = 480;

in it. Try changing those as well as the css for the canvas.

Or better yet, have the initialize function determine the size of the canvas from the css!

in response to your edits, change your init function:

function init()
{
    canvas = document.getElementById("mainCanvas");
    canvas.width = document.body.clientWidth; //document.width is obsolete
    canvas.height = document.body.clientHeight; //document.height is obsolete
    canvasW = canvas.width;
    canvasH = canvas.height;

    if( canvas.getContext )
    {
        setup();
        setInterval( run , 33 );
    }
}

Also remove all the css from the wrappers, that just junks stuff up. You have to edit the js to get rid of them completely though... I was able to get it full screen though.

html, body {
    overflow: hidden;
}

Edit: document.width and document.height are obsolete. Replace with document.body.clientWidth and document.body.clientHeight

Solution 2:

You can just insert the following in to your main html page, or a function:

canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

Then to remove the margins on the page

html, body {
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 0 !important;
}

That should do the job

Solution 3:

The newest Chrome and Firefox support a fullscreen API, but setting to fullscreen is like a window resize. Listen to the onresize-Event of the window-object:

$(window).bind("resize", function(){
    var w = $(window).width();
    var h = $(window).height();

    $("#mycanvas").css("width", w + "px");
    $("#mycanvas").css("height", h + "px"); 
});

//using HTML5 for fullscreen (only newest Chrome + FF)
$("#mycanvas")[0].webkitRequestFullScreen(Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT); //Chrome
$("#mycanvas")[0].mozRequestFullScreen(); //Firefox

//...

//now i want to cancel fullscreen
document.webkitCancelFullScreen(); //Chrome
document.mozCancelFullScreen(); //Firefox

This doesn't work in every browser. You should check if the functions exist or it will throw an js-error.
