I couldn't understand it either, but it occurs to me that this could
mean the OP wants to cover up the browser's toolbars and menus and other
decorations with content.

This is theoretically possible if you set overflow: visible on the root
element (which means setting it on BODY in an HTML UA, the usual
weirdness).

You could then set height: 110% or so on BODY, but you would have to
guess how far to go.

But most desktop window managers don't ever allow a window's contents to
jump outside it.
