I'm working on an internal web app to be used in Emergency Rooms.

We want as much real estate to work with (we will require monitors of a particular size and resolution).

Is there a way I can force the application to load to in full-screen mode? Requiring users to hit F11 is not a valid answer, as it adds a step before doctors, nurse, etc. can start documenting patient's issues.

The security settings on the browser would have to be changed. You would have to open up a pop up window. There is a better solution.

You would be better off setting up the browser to open up in kiosik mode. You can have them add a shortcut icon on the desktop and you get your fullscreen.
