Is there a way to run a website in full screen in Windows? I'm running a Webpage which is only a form and it's running on a kiosk in a shopping mall.

I want this page to display in full screen. no other things should be seen on screen except the webpage and user should not be able to close the webpage using the X button.

Just like an ATM Machine.

Most browsers offer a kiosk mode that does exactly this. Search for example "internet explorer kiosk mode" or "chrome kiosk mode" depending on which browser you will be using.

If you can't find it, then normally the F11 makes a web page fullscreen, but it's not as good a kiosk mode (won't disable screensaver or lock from using other softwares)

Press F11 to get full screen

I think Kiosk mode is what you would want. Check out this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154780

Also do a quick Google search and you'll find more. I think you can have IE default to start in Kiosk mode.

Try Internet Explorer's Kiosk mode

It runs full screen with no GUI around the webpage, and less ways to easily exit.
Just run iexplore -k [website] from the run dialog.

Press F11 within your browser.

Firefox and Chrome have supported this for as long as I can remember. IE8 and IE9 do too, but I'm unsure about earlier versions.

You can achieve a similar effect through JavaScript, by doing something like this:

maximizeWindow = function() {
    window.moveTo(0, 0);
    window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
}

It won't really be fullscreen, but it will resize the window to fullscreen dimensions.
