Cross post: How to get applet to fill client

[Sean]

I think I might need to use Javascript to "write" the apple parameters
before it starts, that's why I'm posting here, but the Q is:
How do I get the client window size in today's browsers?
I'm not concerned with previous version; This isn't a commercial app,
just my own personal entertainment.
I want to resize a java applet according to the browser window and
fill it.
Thx,
Sean

Well neither does my browser. On that url I get a monochrome grey document
with a useless scrollbar and in the statusbar the message 'load: class
Calculet not found' although I was able to download the .jar file directly
from the root directory of your site. There is no javascript on the page as
document.scripts.length ==0. That is in itself impressive.

How do you do that?
That's neat! I looked at the source; yeah, couldn't find Javascript. Is
the apple somehow 'pushing' javascript out?

Let me know!! Otherwise, you're just teasing me ;)

Looks like my reply didn't 'stick'.
How did you do that? I'm impressed? I looked at the source via wget - no
Javascript.
Does the applet somehow "push" javascript out to the browser?
Please let me know - otherwise you are just teasing me!!
Thanks!

Yeh? It is a text document that does not
have my usual 'redirect if minimum java not
installed applet' inside it.

What happens here?

Do you get moved to a 'Please install Java' page?

No, this is how I do it..

In the applet tag, note..

width='100%'
height='100%'>

Note the use of '%', and further that each
value is inside quotes. Pixels (the default)
do not need quotes, whereas % do.

Then, this bit of the syles..
body, html, applet {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}

'Knocks the space out of the page',
and allows the applet to stretch entire
width and height of visible height of
window.

On that url I read "This browser supports the Java Version 1.4 required!",
and when it finishes loading, goes to another page telling me my browser
lacks the required plugs. Would n't it be less confusing to say something
like "Please wait, checking java support" on that first page?
