    Post How to get screen size in Applet

    Can anyone find me the way of getting screen size and make the Applet view full screened. I supposed to say that, I want to make a applet which will be used in a web page and the applet will be screen sized of user machine.
    If you have any question, great or stupid suggestion, feel free to ask me here or mail me and I'll probably feel free to ignore it. You can follow me on twitter or visit my homepage.

    Default Re: How to get screen size in Applet

    An applet is embedded within a web browser, and thus by definition cannot be made screen size. If you actually mean screen size, use a Webstart app. If you mean browser size, this can change based upon what the user does so you may need to try to have your applet communicate with javascript.

    Here is the code to make Applet's size always equals to browser size.

        <script type="text/javascript">
            window.onresize = doResize;
     
            function doResize() {
                if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
                    document.OptionsWindowApplet.width = window.innerWidth;
                    document.OptionsWindowApplet.height = window.innerHeight;
                }
     
                if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
                    document.OptionsWindowApplet.width = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
                    document.OptionsWindowApplet.height = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
                }
            }
     
        </script>

    Where OptionsWindowApplet is your Applet name/id defined by <object /> tag or <applet /> tag.
