How do you do full screen Web.show_document?

ApexPhilJun 18 2014 — edited Jun 19 2014

From an 11G Oracle Form I'm trying to open a new browser window to display a web page. We need to have the new page full screen and displayed in front of the forms browser window. I'm currently using this command:

Web.show_document(:global.url||',"fullscreen=yes,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=no"', '_blank');

In the 11G documentation for web.show_document it only lists the last parameter i.e. '_blank' and doesn't list parameters for fullscreen, location, etc. Were these parameters only available in earlier versions of Forms?

I also tried to achieve this with web.javascript_eval_expr which did produce a full screen browser window but it was behind the Forms window.

So, to summarise:

1) Web.show_document produces a foreground browser window but not a full screen one.

2) Web.javascript_eval_expr produces a background browser window but it is a full screen one.

Does anybody know how to produce a full screen foreground browser window?

Note: Bizarrely I found that if you place a 'pause;' before a call to web.javascript_eval_expr it makes the new browser window appear in the foreground. I've no idea why this is but we need it to happen without the user having to hit a button so 'pause;' is not an option.
