[mapserver-users] Mapplet and Mapsize

[Steve Lime]

I don't believe you can change the size of a displayed applet (I may be wrong). A workaround would be to reload the page with the new size and use javascript to write (document.write...) the start of the applet tag and set the right size that way.

Hi,
 
I am trying to add a drop down menu to automatically change the size of
the map.  I am using Steve Lime's mapplet and MapServ 3.5.  I can not
seem to get the width and height changed in the applet using JavaScript.
Is this possible or do I have the syntax wrong?
 
function changemapsize() {
  document.mapplet.width.value = "400" ;
  document.mapplet.height.value = "300" ;
  document.mapserv.submit();
  }
 
 
<applet codebase="/tools/mapserv35/java/mapplet" code="mapplet.class"
name="mapplet" width="500" height="400" MAYSCRIPT >
             <param name="image"
value="http://[host]/tools/mapserv35/temp_mapserv/[img]">
             <param name="jitter" value="10">
             <param name="thickness" value="2">
             <param name="color" value="255,0,0"> 
             <param name="name" value="mapplet">
          </applet>
 
Thanks,
Brian
