13929 - WIDTH and HEIGHT of OBJECT/EMBED does not work as a %age

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 7509

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[Glen Buhlmann]

When specifying a WIDTH or HEIGHT as a %age in an EMBED tag, apprunner seems to
ignore the % and simply uses the number as a fixed width.  For example:

<EMBED
    NAME="label0"
    CLASSID="clsid:99B42120-6EC7-11CF-A6C7-00AA00A47DD2"

CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/x86/ielabel.cab#Versio
n=4,70,0,1161"
    TYPE="application/x-oleobject"
    WIDTH=100%
    HEIGHT=100
    PARAM_Angle="0"
    PARAM_Alignment="4"
    PARAM_BackStyle="1"
    PARAM_BackColor="#0000ff"
    PARAM_Caption="Click Me!"
    PARAM_FontName="Times New Roman"
    PARAM_FontSize="20"
    PARAM_ForeColor="#f000f0"
>

Will cause apprunner to simply create a 100x100 window and pass it to the
plugin.

This problem also exists when using the OBJECT tag.  I imagine it occurs with
all plugins but the above example can be tested by simply downloading version
3.0.0.0 of the ScriptActive plugin from http://www.ncompasslabs.com/Plug-
Ins/Download.htm

ScriptActive 3.0.0.0 obviously does not support Mozilla, but if you install it
for a 4.x browser, you can then simply copy the npods.dll, npdoc.dll,
oleplug.dll, and oleplug.ini files to the apprunner plugins directory and then
you will at least see it display a ScriptActive bitmap within apprunner that
shows you the size of the window that apprunner created for it.

Note:  Specifying the WIDTH and HEIGHT for an IMG does work properly, such as:
<IMG WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100 SRC="MyImg.gif">
