Any utility function/class/helper to remove browser bars?

[PKrawczynski]

Like in topic. Friend of mine just tested very basic "game" i've made and there are always browser bars on iphone, ipad and playbook.

 

Ive dig through code and it looked like game.stage.scale should handle removing them during resize event but it doesnt seem to exactly work (if im correct it is supposed to do it)

It depends on the device / browser. You can't remove the browser UI on an iPad (or Playbook) at all for example - but an iPhone should scroll out of the way the top part (but the bottom section of the UI remains persistent).

I got a screenshot from an iphone wchich puzzles me because according to one of devs of captain rogers there are no bars on iphone, here is image:

it looks like there is nothing on the bottom screen there. Where in demo im working on it looks like this:

Yeah that's right - in landscape mode on iOS6 you can remove the UI except for the bottom part (those semi-transparent icons). You can only do this in landscape mode, it doesn't work in portrait. It also doesn't work in iOS5 or iOS7

Im wondering if you could help out how to achieve that browser bars hide effect - even if its only on iOS6?

 

 

Sorry for being so confused, lot of incosistence going on with html5, on top of that I dont own any android or iOS device right now so testing is done by someone else remotely.

 

EDIT: okay hold on, I might be on to something with googling
