Full Screen Mode in IPAD Safari Browser

Good Afternoon,
Is there anyway to put the IPAD Safari Browser into a full screen mode ? In Internet Explorer pressing the F11 key does this.
Thanks,
Bob

On the iPad tapping the Safari icon in the Dock should automatically have Safari pages load full screen.
If you are referring to the Safari for Mac, you need a third party add on.

Full screen mode bug in Safari?

In Safari, running in full screen mode, if a link opens a file (eg an Excel workbook), sometimes the Excel (non full screen) window will open over the top of the Safari full screen window. When that happens it's impossible to get access to the Excel window, as clicking on it will jump to the desktop "space" (where the window should have opened?). The only way out of the problem is to move to the Safari full screen "space" and take Safari out of full screen mode using the button in the top right corner (Esc doesn't work in this case). After that I can access both Safari and the Excel window no problem.
This doesn't always happen, but it has happened enough times to be annoying, and also happens with other apps (eg Preview), not just Excel.
Anyone else had the same problem?

It is a bug. If you start to search for something with the Safari not in full screen mode the history and predictive search functionality is there. If you then expand the application window to full screen it the search field will continue to work as expected. However, if you open the application and first expand it to full screen view before using the search field it will not work properly; the history will be inaccessable and the predictive search will fail. In order to restore functionality, hit 'control+command+F' to return to non-full-screen mode, type something in the search field or access your search history via the hour glass and then return to full screnn mode. The search field will now function normally again. This is definitely a bug and this behavior explains why the search seems to be fixed at times, and broken at others.

Access browser in full screen mode?

how do you access browser to brows photos when in full screen mode? i can see the film strip at the bottom but how do you go in browser mode to see all photos on screen while full screen? full screen was kind of wird to use at first so i avoided using it for a few months, but now i kind of figured out where everything is, except of this.

I am not sure, if I understand your question: Are you asking, how to get access to all items in your library for browsing while in full screen mode, or are you asking how to browse many images at once, while in full screen mode.
To access all library items in Full Screen Mode, display the inspector and use the Library tab of the Inspector panel.
To have a full screen Browser, switch to full screen mode while in Browser view.
For example, using the Inspector in Full Screen mode: (klick the button to launch the Inspector HUD).
And after switching to full screen mode, while in the Browser:

Open Captivate in full screen mode

Hello all-
I am trying to have my captivate course open in full screen mode versus having the browser toolbars appear. The Full screen button doesn't work because I am publishing this course as AICC complaint in order for it to go into an LMS. (plateau)
Has anyone dealt with this situation before?
I am using captivate 4 for this course.
Thank you!

Hi there
The only way to display things in that manner from inside the browser is to use JavaScript to open the window. When you open the window using JavaScript, you have the ability to define many of the window characteristics, such as toolbars and all that.
Likely this will require engaging in a conversation with the support area of whomever supports the LMS you are using in order to figure out what you need to change to make this happen when the LMS serves the Captivate content.
Cheers... Rick

YouTube constantly restarting in full screen mode.

I am having an issue with YouTube constantly stopping and restarting when in full screen mode. Using Safari and whatever I am watching only runs for a few seconds before restarting.

If your issue is only in Safari, you should post in the Safari forum area.
If your issues is occuring in all browsers, it's YouTube's problem. You need to post in their forum area or contact their tech support.

IPad Web App full screen mode Network Connectivity Retry Option

Hi,
I have developed a web application in HTML5 for iPad (full screen mode). Now I am testing the application on iPad for connectivity scenario i.e. to see how the app behaves when the connectivity is lost and then resumed after some time.
Steps -
Launch the web application in full screen mode from home screen (connected to a wifi network).
Click on any button to submit the form and at the same time turn off external wifi modem.
A pop-up message appears with the options to close or retry.
Now turn on the modem and click on retry.
The expectation is that on clicking retry the data in the web form should be sent to the web server, but instead of POST request, a GET request is being sent. Because of this, the data filled in the form is lost as the page is simply refreshed.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks

This is more of a feature of the browser already.
With iOS6, Mobile Safari on the iPhone introduced full-screen browsing support in landscape mode.

One isn't able to take advantage of this feature in portrait mode though. However, the meta tag you're referring to in order to hide Safari UI Components requires the webapp to be added to the Homescreen; then when you launch the site through the icon on the Homescreen, you would find the UI components hidden.
Also, the latest version of Chrome for iOS released a couple of days ago includes the ability to view pages in fullscreen as well (for both landscape and portrait modes) with scrolling gestures enabling the hiding and showing of the omnibox and toolbar while navigating down a page.

Mobile Safari Crash when using an iFrame in Full Screen mode (Icon launch)

Platform: iPad 2/3/mini iOS 8.1 (Other versions seem to show the same behavior)
The Problem:
I am making an html5 app that is running in full screen mode by adding it to the homescreen and using the <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> tag to hide Safari.
When altering the source of an iFrame to an asset (mov, mp3, etc), Safari in turn will crash ONLY when in full screen mode. If I am browsing my app out of full screen mode, the assets load without a problem.
The odd thing is, the default browser player for these assets change in appearance when using the full screen mode.
I have setup a page to reproduce the crash:
Navigate to: http://instapark.me/roi
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (No crash)
Add to your homescreen.
Launch from homescreen icon.
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash, but it will not play.)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (crash!)

It is already switched off because it's a known issue that the macbook pro mid 2010 has kernel panics with the discrete gpu.
Any other guesses?
*Also please note that this is probably a safari issue since chrome works fine. But I can't read crash logs so any help would be appreciated.

Safari Full Screen Mode not full screen

In full screen mode in Safari 7 I cannot hide the tool bar. Hide toolbar is greyed out. This used to be possible in the previous version of Safari. Is there a way round this?
Curiously most of the toolbar can disappear in non full screen mode.

Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

Safari has stopped allowing me to enter full screen mode. Why?

Safari will not allow me to enter full screen mode. This is a new occurrence as it has always worked before. When I either click on the two arrows on the top right of the browser or go to View > Enter Full Screen the browser makes a sound and remains the same. How do I fix this problem? And why would this have happened in the first place? Thank you.

First try resetting Safari by clicking "Safari", then "Reset Safari..." in third section. Make sure everything is checked except for saved passwords, auto fill or history/top sites for they are unnecessary. If this doesn't work, try emptying the cache by clicking "Safari", "Empty Cache...", then click ok.

Why does Safari not automatically open in full screen mode?

In Yosemite, if I'm in full screen mode, then I close my browser (completely quitting, not just closing the window), then re-open Safari, I am not in full screen mode. The browser corners are pulled to the maximum screen size but I am not in full screen mode.
Does anyone know a solution to this? Is this a bug or a "feature?"
Thanks,
Mason

I have never used Span before, but inspired by your post, I tried it.
My results are the same as yours in non-fullscreen mode, but different in full screen mode.
When I press "F", image 2 appears on monitor A (as you said), but briefly I see image 1 on monitor C, then it blacks out. Pressing "F" again reveals the two images in their original positions.
If I select a block of images, but not all the columns of images on monitor B, the images are somewhat randomly assigned to A and C. When I press F, the images on C move to A, and C blanks out to black.
Now I know why I have never used Span I think!
What is the purpose of this thing?!

Please help me exit "full screen mode." I am unable to see the Safari menu bar.

I have never used this tool. Please help me to "exit the full screen mode." I am unable to see the toolbar in Safari.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. Is there a way to adjust settings in Safari, like my homepage? So far I am not pleased with the IPad. Wish I had looked at other tablets before buying. the main thing I don't like is Safari. I welcome any positive comments. Thanks.
Safari doesn't include a Home page, but does allow for a multitude of book marks. In addition, there numerous other browsers available in the apps store. Some of them will allow for setting Home page if it is that important to you (personally, I don't miss it).
The bookmarks bar can be be hidden from the setting app. There is no real tool bar in Safari.
You might want to take a look through the User Guide and learn a little more about how the iPad works, if you haven't already.

How can I get Safari to default to NOT be in full screen mode?

I have looked in Preferences but don't see any such option. I know that once I am in a session that I can go to View->Exit Full Screen, but I want the default when I open a session to not be full screen. Would appreciate any and all help.

Quit Safari while holding down the option key. Relaunch. Your home page, or an empty window, should open, depending on your preferences.
If in full-screen mode, exit. If not in full-screen mode, enter. Quit and relaunch without holding any keys. You should get the same window in the same state as when you quit. Does that happen?

In Full Screen mode Safari only opens new tabs?

Safari 5.1 has a preference that lets you set whether or not targeted links open into new tabs or new windows.
In regular screen mode, this preference works as expected.
In Full Screen mode (Lion), this preference seems to be ignored, and Safari always opens targeted links into new tabs.
Is there a preference I'm missing to set this behavior for Full Screen mode?
The reason I ask is that I would love to use the swipe gesture to switch between different web pages I have open, and so far Safari only seems to use gestures in Full Screen mode to switch between windows, not tabs.

Safari will not open in full screen mode

After installing the 3-1-14 update from the Apps Store, Safari will not open in full screen mode when I click the double arrow in the upper right corner of the screen. If I try the View>Enter Full Screen it still will not open full screen. Prior to this update, everything was fine. I know the info on the update says it deals with iTunes and iBooks, but after installing it my problems began.
I am running the Mavericks (all updates installed) on an Mac mini (late 2013 edition), 16GB RAM.
Any suggestions?

Please disregard my question. The issue disappeared after a cold boot. Thanks.
