I don't think what you're asking for is too likely.  Most existing browsers
don't allow you to reformat or alter the page after it's been loaded.  IE4
does support on-the-fly dynamic changing of all HTML elements and tags, but
I've never tried resizing applets that way so I don't know whether it would
work.

You can use a Frame object to hold all of the applet components and
allow the frame to be resizable. (Of course, this appears as its own
window, separate from the browser window...) Just have the applet setup
the frame in its init method.

// untested code:
public class MyApplet extends Applet
{
Frame frame = new Frame();
List list = new List(); // or whatever

public void init()
	{
	frame.setLayout...
	frame.add(list);
	frame.setResizable(true);
	frame.show();
	}
}

Why M$ VJ++ in default applet (generated by applet wizard) exist method
resize() which doesn't work? {:)

Use Applet.resize(width, height)!

Set your <APPLET WIDTH = HEIGHT = > parameters to the largest size you
expect the applet to grow and match the applet's (and any panels,
canvases etc...) setBackground() to the exact same colour  as the
BGCOLOR of the html page. That will make it look like whatever is being
displayed is growing. Otherwise, I believe, the answer is "no you can't
refresh the html page to resize the width and the hieght of the applet
on the page.

It would not work, because the browser don't allow to resize the page as
you say above.

*scratch* *scratch* hmmm, what do you mean by that? IE4 - the great new
gadget of Big Billy - allows you to add, remove or modify any text or HTML
tag in a page. I admit that its a rather bizarre idea, but IMHO it would
work to modify the <APPLET> tag in a page to resize an applet. Although
this would of course only do the trick in IE40 - not very platform
independent then.

This is the best idea I've see.  I will probably use it in my applet. 
Thanks.

That's not entirely true. You can use <APPLET WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100%...
and it will size the applet to fit the browser window. And you can resize the 
browser and reload the page to change it. But that's the first catch, you have 
to basically dump that execution of that applet and re-run it from the top.

The other catch  that I don't think this works in anything but IE. Not sure 
about that, though.

Havent tried this one but it should work.
Make the page be a CGI-prog that takes widht and height as
params. Then to resize the applet simply call:
myapplet.showdocument ("mydocument?width=newwidth&height=newheight");
sinze the applet is already loaded the page should show itself
kinda quickly...

Percent Tags work as initial size if the applet tag is in a frame (at least
with the 1.1 patch). With ie4.0 even resizing works very well, just give
100% and your applet is resized dynamically every time the browser is
resied. With netscape the applet wont resize, but you get stop/start on
browser resizes (filed as a known bug). I tried to read the browser-area
size from Applet.getParent(), but there is no docu from netscape on
"netscape.applet.*" (nor com.ms.*).
