Notes

1. Partial support refers to supporting an earlier draft of the spec.

2. Partial support refers to not supporting ::backdrop, and supporting the old :full-screen syntax rather than the standard :fullscreen.

3. Partial support refers to not returning a Promise, as specified in the latest version of the spec.

4. Unprefixed support is available behind the full-screen-api.unprefix.enabled flag

5. Partial support refers to supporting only iPad, not iPhone. Shows an overlay button which can not be disabled.

^* Partial support with prefix.

Bugs

• IE 11 doesn't allow going to fullscreen mode when the event that triggers msRequestFullscreen() is a keydown or pointerdown event (keypress and click do work)

• Safari blocks access to keyboard events in fullscreen mode (as a security measure).

• Safari doesn't support stacking, meaning only one element can be set to full screen. webkitRequestFullScreen() is ignored for other elements and no error event is dispatched.

• IE 11 does not allow scrolling when document.documentElement is set to full screen.

• IE 11 does not properly support fullscreen when opening from an iframe.

• Opera 12.1 uses the older specificaton's :fullscreen-ancestor pseudo-class instead of the the ::backdrop pseudo-element.
