The point is not the applet.  The applet does not do *anything*
specific to cause the resize.  The only aspect the applet has 
that helps the entire demo., is that is it amenable to resizing.

It is the HTML and styles (CSS) in the page that cause the applet
to either be resized, or not (in the case of the browsers that fail).

As far as that 'noob' comment goes, I did not mean it quite the 
way it came out sounding.  The point I was trying to make was
that there are an entire new world of potential problems when
it comes to the browser interaction (or rather, the interaction of 
an applet with a VM/Browser (with Plug-Ins), the HTML, CSS and 
JS, other elements in the same page..).

The 'latest' little quirk I heard of, was that in some patch 
of  FF, scrolling *down* will cause all applets in the page 
to reload (the bug does not manifest when scrolling up).**

So, as a trivial e.g. of my warnings.  

Is your applet amenable to working under those conditions?  
Are you prepared to write a 'fix' for the broken FF behaviour?  
Are you ready to perform patches to the applet the *next* 
time a browser develops a problem?

Despite my seeming success in the example you saw, 
I decided that because it failed in Opera (badly), that it
was unusable on the 'big bad' WWW.

** And if that FF report is in any way surprising, I stand 
by my 'noob' (to applet deployment) comment.

Since it seems to have been trimmed in the reply,
I will ask again..
