You can get to full screen mode two ways. You can have the window simply open full screen by itself or set up a button or link that will open the window.
Internet Explorer user can also get to a kind-of full screen mode by just hitting F-11. If you're using MSIE, try it. Hit F-11 again to return to normal mode. Since it doesn't work in Netscape Navigator, I am not making it a subheading. I just wanted to mention it so you'll know the trick.

Let's start with just opening the browser in full screen mode. It's easy. Copy and paste this into the page's HEAD tag section:

<script>
<!--
window.open("bigpage.html","fs","fullscreen,scroll bars")
//-->
</script>

That format will give you scrollbars. If you don't want scrollbars, just alter the code a bit to this:

<script>
<!--
window.open("bigpage.html","fs","fullscreen=yes")
//-->
</script>

Note that the "fs" is simply a name I assigned to the page. You really don't even need that in there. The page will open without it.

2. I want to make a button, which on being pressed closes itself(the html page). How do i do it?

You might take it from the italic statements above that the newly opened full screen can be closed through hitting F-11. Nope. You need to offer the user the ability to close the window. Add this code to the newly opened page:
Close window

That will offer a link that closes the window named "fs". See why I used a name for the page?

If you'd like a button that closes the window, try this:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Close the Window" onClick="window.close('fs')">
</FORM>
