Web components. At least their usage is plain HTML and could do what you want
internally with the JS API.

I opened up the developer console on Chrome and copied in his code to make the
whole page full-screened. It doesn't seem to do anything and doesn't show an
error message.

Is there an issue with the code? I know Chrome supports the full-screen API.

Good that this came in just when I was playing with the Fullscreen API. It is
the Firefox's implementation of this that's bothering me.

Figured out that we have to put up with a hack to avoid the default
"background:black" that Firefox applies to the element being pulled to
full_screen mode. But what is worse is that Firefox kills y-scrolling
completely for pages longer than screen-height.

In effect one can't have full_page rendering (like on iPad or in normal state
of browsers) of the website in full_screen mode of Firefox. That's seriously
crippling.

How do we tackle this? Is there any enlightened soul who got this done
already? Or I am hitting the wall, right now?

Sounds pretty stupid, but it sounds like you should be able to get round it by
sticking everything in a scrollable wrapper div (height:100%; overflow:scroll)
when fullscreen mode gets activated. Or just do things the old fashioned way
and tell the user to hit F11 (or apple-shift-F on
