How Do I Force a Link to Open a Maximized New Browser Window ?

I know how to use 'New Window' in Target to cause the link to open a
new browser window, but it doesn't open with the window maximized.

Also, I encounter links where the new window is wide open -- it's full
screen -- that is, without the browser toolbars or favorites pane.
Ideally this is what I want to do. I am trying to display a large
JPEG in the new window.

Make sure you give the viewer a button to click or other option to close the
window so they don't have to use Alt+F4 to close it.
<input type="button" value="Close Page" Onclick="parent.close()">
Will give them a clickable button

Also, onclick="parent.close()" in the opening body tag will close the page
if it's clicked anywhere.

<body onclick="parent.close()">

imho opening pages full screen will make people leave your site. Everyone
knows how to use a scroll bar.
