I could never figure out for the life of me how to get a Safari window to expand to "fullscreen" with just a click.
The + button doesn't do it, neither alt/click,Command/click...etc...
I tried every permutation I could think of. iPhoto, iMovie have this feature ..I'm sure many more.
What gives? Is it a limitation or is it a feature not yet intoduced?
thanks.

Full screen Safari does just that until Apple changes this. or you can do what I do

Create a new bookmark edit the address field and replace the url with one of the javascripts

contract window
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.a vailWidth-550,screen.availHeight-550)

Expand window
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.a vailWidth-12,screen.availHeight-01)

To get to full screen on Safari, paste this into a bookmark:

javascript:moveTo(0,0);concat(screen.availWidth,sc reen.availHeight)

You can also use the commands available through applescript from apple.com which let you set window sizes, position etc... look quite useful though I haven't really tested any of them much.

Just downloaded the scripts in question. Once the script is in the menue bar, its just one click away.
