How can I detect Kiosk Mode in IE?

[opera13]

Hi. I'm working on a web site that is accessible both through normal browsing and at a specific location in kiosk mode. I need to enable a special menu when in kiosk mode, but how do I detect it? Thanks.

If you can't determine it from the user agent (Does the Kiosk mode browser send a different user agent string?) or the IP address (perhaps the Kiosks have a fixed IP range or use a specific proxy server?), then maybe you can do it via Javascript by measuring the screen size.

I believe that you can check the window size and screen size through the Javascript "navigator" object then compare those; if there are no decorations at all, then the browser is in kiosk or no-decorations fullscreen mode.

Moving this to the client-side forum.

screen.width and screen.height will return those dimensions.
