Running HTML5 fullscreen in an app that doesn't allow them to exit

Question

Working on an html5 app for a touchscreen windows xp computer that will be running in a store display. We need a good way of keeping users from exiting the program.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Answer 1

"Kiosk mode" is what you need. Here is some information regarding opera, but other browsers support it as well.

Answer 2

You want to Run Internet Explorer as the Shell, in Kiosk mode. You'll also want to set NoBrowserClose in the Registry. That's probably enough if somebody's around to restart it if IE crashes. Otherwise you should schedule a job to run every minute and re-launch IE if it isn't running.
