    Applet running in Netscape

    I have an applet that sizes itself to the size of the browser frame
    that it is running in. On IE the applet resizes upon dragging the
    frame divider.

    I'm having a problem with getting this applet to resize itself when I
    resize the html frame if it's in Netscape 7.x. Seems like the problem
    is the lack of a refresh signal to the java applet from the page. Is
    this a known bug, is there a workaround? Thanks.

      The proper way to resize an Applet is by giving the WIDTH and HEIGHT
      parameters of the APPLET tag percentages instead of pixels. When you change
      the size of the browser window, the Applet container will resize and
      automatically revalidate the components inside according to the
      LayoutManager (and repaint() accordingly).

      Otherwise, the APPLET should always be the size that the WIDTH and HEIGHT
      give. Sizing objects in a browsers' page works top-down, not bottom up.

      Cheers.

          Thanks for the response. However, that is what I have, I specify:

          <html>...
          <applet class="..." width="100%" height="95%" ...

          But when I resize this html page, the applet within it does not
          resize, in Netscape 7.x.

          Confused,
          -Jeff

              Okay, that looks fine.
              Make sure that the content actually resizes when the Windows resizes (i.e.
              try to replace the Applet with a picture that has its size in percentages.

              HTML coding can be difficult when using Tables and/or Frames, due to
              strange behaviour if there are too many unknown fixed sizes.

              Questions you may want to answer for yourself:
              - How do Mozilla, Opera and Internet Explorer respond ?
              If Mozilla shows the same behavious, you may want to check their bug /
              requested feature database... Netscape is derived from Mozilla.

              - Are you using LayoutManagers or are you doing
              your own painting/layouting ? If so, you need to check
              the current size in paint/doLayout() (or similar)

              For IE 4.0-6.0 without Plugin:
              - Is this a JDK 1.1 compatible Applet ?
