hide one part of JSplitPane in Applet

Question

Here is my situation, i want to implement a sidebar on the right side of a JFrame. The sidebar is hidden in default, appear if i click a button.

In order to hide the sidebar, I set the divider location of the JSplitPane with a very large value, say 10000. It works properly in normal java application. Also, i set the setResizeWeight of the JSplitPane to 1.0.

However, if i run it in a applet, the sidebar appear a little bit on the right when i resize the JFrame.

How can i hide the sidebar even when i resize the JFrame? Any idea would be welcome. ps. i need it done in java 1.4
