title: javascript open (page element) in fullscreen HTML5 fails in Internet Explorer
body: <p>Hi I have a web page that I want to open a div element (with an ID) and its contents  from the existing page into fullscreen. It works fine in FF and Chrome but does not work in IE10 or IE11. I get no errors in the console log.</p>
  
  <p>I used a similar methodology to this online example I found which also does not work for me in IE: <a href="http://davidwalsh.name/demo/fullscreen.php" rel="nofollow">http://davidwalsh.name/demo/fullscreen.php</a>. Is there a setting in IE that needs to be enabled to display fullscreen? F11 works fine for me. I thought there might be a security setting?</p>
  
  <p>I am using the code as defined within MS own documentation:

  <pre><code>function requestFullScreen(element) {
             // Supports most browsers and their versions.
         var requestMethod = element.requestFullScreen || 
                              element.webkitRequestFullScreen || 
                              element.mozRequestFullScreen || 
                              element.msRequestFullScreen;
  
          console.log("element.msRequestFullScreen" + 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}");
              }
          }
      }
  
    $(".fullscreen").live('click',function(event) {
  
  
       var elem = document.getElementById("fulltextview"); // Make the fulltext    
     view elements contents go full screen.
    requestFullScreen(elem);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In this example the variable requestMethod is always undefined.<br>
  Is it because IE is not detecting the onclick event and therefore blocking the request due to security concerns? More help needed. (yes, I am forced to use an old version of jQuery 1.4.4)</p>
