FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
RedHat 9.0, kernel 2.4.20-8

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Netscape 7.1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
My HTML page contains an APPLET tag like this:

<APPLET code="..." archive="..." codebase=".." name="..." height=0 width=0></applet>

The applet is not loaded at all and any Java Script calls to the applet's methods fail. The applet gets loaded if I change the size of the applet to e.g. width=100 height=1.

This works with 1.4.2-b28


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
- Create simple applet (e.g. with only an init() method)
- Place it on the HTML page with height=0 width=0
- Load it in netscape 7.1 on LInux and observe no applet activity at all

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
applet should get loaded an initailized when the page is loaded.
ACTUAL -
applet is not loaded. Java Script calls fail.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
no error message from the runtime environment

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
change APPLET tag to height=1 width=100.

Problem: code (APPLET tag) is generated at runtime by a Third Party application

Release Regression From : 1.4.2
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
