86045 - applet-tag can't be sized to percentages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P4)

Description

[Andreas Waechter]

in Mozilla 0.9.1:

<applet code="any.class" width="100%" height="100%"> should result in an applet
the size of the available space but does not.
<applet code="any.class" width="50%" height="50%"> should result in an applet
half as wide and half as high as the available space.
As far as I have tested it is independent of the values given, as soon as one of
the values for width or height is given as a percentage, the applet seems to be
sized to one default size (looks like 200 by 200 to me).
The problem also occurs if I try to size the applet by stylesheet:
<applet code="any.class" style="width:50%;height:50%;"> produces the same wrong
result as <applet code="any.class" width="50%" height="50%">

reporter could you provide a testcase?

Comment 2

[Andreas Waechter]

You can see the phenomenon on this page:
http://www.andreas-waechter.de/linkStart.html
The applet is the tree - it should extend to the bottom of the frame
(height="100%") but has a height of estimated 200 pixels only.

Confirmed with Build 2001061520 win32
Sun's JRE version 1.3.1

I've also tested using Opera 5.11 with Sun's JRE version 1.3.1

In Opera there is no problem.

Comment 5

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

HTML Element component is deprecated, and should be removed from Bugzilla.
Clayton is not the correct owner for these. Reassigning to layout.

moving to future milestone until final triage, applet is deprecated and object 
should be used in the future

I used to see this too, but from 0.9.6 (possibly earlier) it has been working
as it should. The link to the testcase is dead.

This report should be closed.

I was able to get this to work in the MRJ plugin by changing the plugin to check
for WIDTH/HEIGHT attributes containing % or * characters, by simply respecting
the actual width/height values passed in by the plugin API. Layout is doing the
right thing I believe, it's just that the Java plugin itself may be incorrectly
written. Take a look at bug #119352 for more information.

Using the test case in bug 119352:
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/oji/test7.html

This appears to work correctly on my win 2k machine. I believe this bug is dead.

Perhaps related to bug 106602?

Comment 12

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

I just tried this w/ Moz 1.2.1 under Windows 2000, the applet was sized
correctly.  Can this be closed?  Is it a problem with other platforms?
