scale applet to browser window

hi.
i was wondering if anybody knew of a way to scale the processing applet to the window size of the web browser, while maintaining the width x height aspect ratio.
one thing i did think about was to get javascript to determine height and width of the browser window and use <PARAM> tag to pass on that information...but if anybody can think of a better way, that would be great.

you're almost there with you idea... just put this in your sketch:
Code:void setup() {
int ww, hh;
// if online get size from <applet> tag
if (online()) {
ww = Integer.parseInt(param("width"));
hh = Integer.parseInt(param("height"));
} else {
// ...or use this hardcoded setting
ww = 640;
hh = 480;
}
size(ww, hh);
} |

...and in the html just do this:
Code:| <applet code="MyApplet" archive="MyApplet.jar" width="100%" height="100%"></applet> |
|
hth!

i'm not quite sure, but couldn't you also just ask the applet what size it was, then pass it on to the processing size() method?
like:
Code:void setup() {
int ww = bounds().width;
int hh = bounds().height;
size(ww, hh);
} |

i dont have processing on this computer, so i can't test it out, but the applet's width and height is independent of the int array you are writing to...it should always return the current size of the whole applet.
