The Element
interface's onfullscreenerror
property is an event handler for the fullscreenerror
event which is sent to the element when an error occurs while attempting to transition into or out of full-screen mode.
Syntax
targetElement.onfullscreenerror = fullscreenErrorHandler;
Value
An error handler for the fullscreenerror
event.
Example
This example attempts to switch into full-screen mode from outside a handler for a user-initiated event (such as a click
or keypress
event). Since full-screen mode changes are only permitted in response to a user input, this causes an error to occur, which triggers the delivery of the fullscreenerror
event to the error handler,
let elem = document.querySelector("video")}} elem.onfullscreenerror = function ( event ) { displayWarning("Unable to switch into full-screen mode."); }; //.... elem.requestFullscreen();
