Document.mozCancelFullScreen()

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Takes the document out of full-screen mode; this is used to reverse the effects of a call to make an element in the document full-screen using its element.mozRequestFullScreen() method.

Note: If another element was previously in full-screen mode when the current element was placed into full-screen mode, that previous element regains full-screen mode. A "stack" of full-screen elements is maintained by the browser for this purpose.

Syntax

document.mozCancelFullScreen();

Example

TBD

Notes

See Using full-screen mode for details and examples.

Specifications

Not part of any specification. It is similar in function to the Fullscreen API specification's document.exitFullscreen() method though.
