Hi!

I want to display an applet in a html page. I want to have it the maximum size, so that it exactly fits into the browser, without scrollbars.

To achieve this, I'm thinking of the following solution. Two javascript functions return the width and the height of the available area. This is no problem. However, I want to use these values in the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes of the APPLET tag. Something like:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function pageWidth() {return window.innerWidth .. ;}
function pageHeight() {return window.innerHeight .. ;}
</script>

<APPLET CODE=TheApplet.class HEIGHT=??? WIDTH=???>

How can I do this? Is there a way to use a javascript variable or -function inside a tag?

T.I.A.

You might look at using the style setting alongside the expression syntax, see dynamic properties:

Alternatively set the applets attributes, give the applet an id: You might want to use the document.body.clientWidth.

Remember to make this cross-browser compliant. window.innerWidth is a Netscape property, and document.body.clientWidth is the Microsoft version.

Also remember that the expression syntax is IE-only.

Too true, painfully. I sometimes forget that I'm in an all IE environment which can be annoying from some points of view but makes development quicker...

Netscape used to have the a better version of "expression" where you could use javascript entities in attributes, I'm not sure if they still work however.
