Description
My application uses an applet to login, the applet works fine with Mozilla 1.2,
Mozilla 1.4 I downloaded from iWork web site, but it doesn't work with 
Mozilla 1.4 Beta.

I checked those three versions of Mozilla, Mozilla 1.2 is using Java plugin
1.4.2, Mozilla 1.4 from iWork web site is using 1.4.2_03 while Mozilla 1.4 Beta
is using Java Plugin 1.4.2_02.

It looks like that Java Plugin 1.4.2_02 is a problem.

Someone else has a similar problem in Bug 5005607.

EVALUATION this bug only occurs on jre 1.4.2_02, no matter what version of mozilla is used. ###@###.### 2004-03-30 The root cause of this bug is we reject the width=0 and height=0 applet. The fix is to set width=1 and height=1 if width=0 or height=0. Refer to the suggested fix for the fix. ###@###.### 2004-03-30 ------------------------------ Since similar fix is already in Tiger, this bug is not applicable to Tiger ###@###.### 2004-05-06

SUGGESTED FIX In share/classes/sun/plugin/viewer/MNetscapePluginObject.java, setWindow function. change if (width == 0 || height == 0) return; to if (width == 0) width = 1; if (height == 0) height = 1; if (winID == newID) { if (width != this.width || height != this.height) setFrameSize(width, height); return; } With this change, test relative width and height applet to make sure it works fine.
