According to engg. specifications
it has been mentioned that if the JPI area is less
than 36x36 than nothing should be displayed for feedback, irrespective of the
fact that the image is of a smaller size, which can fit into this area.

(test case 8)
or http://sqesvr/deployment1/ws_plugin/tests/splashscreen/pluginhtml-default/toosmallBrokenImage.html


 In this particular test case the appletarea is 30x30 and image size is 24.x24
Based ons pecifications, nothing should get displayed.
But currently it is displaying the broken image.

Hi Raju,
according to the spec, the correct behavior is: nothing should be
displayed if the area is too small. In case of Test8 area is not small
enough - the whole "x" gets displayed. I just looked at the plug-in
code and verified that even if you would make the area of the applet
smaller then dimentions of "x" image, part of the image will still be
displayed in the applet's box. This is not what the spec says, but I
don't think this would qualify as a show stopper for hopper. Also, I
looked at the developer connection spec we've put together for this
feature, and it does not mention that at some point the "error" graphic
won't show up.

I'll bring this issue up for the plug-in team - so that we could decide
if this is the desired behavior, since I am not sure if we want to show
nothing at all if gray box is too small - then behavior is inconsistant
(sometimes we show 'x' and some times we don't), and we'll start getting
bug reports on this from users. You should probably file a bug for
mantis on this. Let me know if you think otherwise.

Thanks,
Rita.
