hello guys,

is there a way to get the properties of the browser where an applet is embedded? i want to know the location on screen, width and visible rectangle of the browser...

is this possible?

thanks a lot.

You maybe able to use LiveConnect to access the JavaScript window object and its various properties (innerHeight, innerWidth, outerHeight, outerWidth). The Plugin Developer Guide has an example of an applet that does this. I don't think the location of the window on the screen is available.
