elementwebkitRequestFullscreen

The `webkitRequestFullscreen` method is a JavaScript API used to request that an HTML element be displayed in fullscreen mode. This method is part of the Fullscreen API, which allows web applications to present content in a more immersive way, typically by occupying the entire screen and hiding browser UI elements.

When `webkitRequestFullscreen` is called on an element, the browser attempts to enter fullscreen mode. If successful, the specified element will expand to fill the user's screen. The user can typically exit fullscreen mode by pressing the Escape key or by a browser-specific control. The `webkitRequestFullscreen` method returns a Promise that resolves when the element successfully enters fullscreen mode and rejects if the request is denied.

This method is prefixed with `webkit` indicating its origin and widespread adoption in WebKit-based browsers like Safari. While modern browsers generally support the unprefixed `requestFullscreen` method, the `webkit` prefixed version remains important for compatibility with older versions or specific browser environments. To ensure cross-browser compatibility, developers often check for the existence of both the prefixed and unprefixed versions before calling the method. Common use cases include video players, games, and presentation applications where an uninterrupted, full-screen experience is desired.
