Question

How to get an Applet in a table-row to size dynamically

Answer 1

+1 A:

I suggest using javascript to write the object/embed tag and calculating the size dynamically.

This should do the trick basically but be aware of the fact that getting the correct width and size can be tricky. I refer you to Finding the size of the browser window.

...
<head>
...
  <script type="text/javascript">
    window.onresize = function(event) {
      document.getElementById('myobject_tag').height = window.innerHeight;
      document.getElementById('myobject_tag').width = window.innerWidth;
    }
  </script>
</head>
...
<body bgcolor="#6f6f6f">
  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
    <tr valign="top">
      <td><img src="images/myheader.jpg" alt="myheader.jpg"></td>
      <td><img src="images/mylogo.jpg" alt="mylogo.jpg"></td>
    </tr>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var height = window.innerHeight;
      var width = window.innerWidth;
      document.write(
        '<tr><td colspan="2"><object id="myobject_tag"\n' +
        'codetype="application/java"\n' +
        'classid="java:applets.MyTestApplet.class"\n' +
        'width="' + width + '"\n' +
        'height="' + height + '"\n>' +
        '<param name="codebase" value=".">\n' +
        '<param name="archive" value="MyTestApplet.jar">\n' +
        '<param name="code" value="applets.MyTestApplet">\n' +
        '</object></td></tr>'
      );
    </script>
  </table>
...

Thanks, your script works 100% (on firefox). Now I need to just adjust it to make the table fit.

enhanced code snippet. note javascript in head and the id tag in the object tag

Thanks - exactly what I needed. (Got the table-size fitting nicely in the meantime) :-)
