Q905 How can I resize an applet in a document when the window is resized to ensure that the applet is always full size within the window?

An applets width and height properties are only available in Internet Explorer 4 - and then they are only read only.

The only possible way is to trap the resize event using the documents onResize event handler in Netscape Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4 to reload the page:

<HTML>
<body onResize="document.history.go(0)">

<applet width="100%" height="100%">
</applet>

</body>
</html>
