I am not sure either if setting the height and width for an applet in a stylesheet is correct. A brief read of section 17.3 of the HTML 4.01 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.7) does seem to clear it up for me. Although I would lean towards saying that the height and width should be set on the tag and not in the stylesheet given the fact that all other attributes that are support via stylesheet are marked depricated. If setting the height and width in the stylesheet is valid, there still is the issue of accessing that information in the plugin. I did not see anyway the plugin could resolve the stylesheet settings. My C programming is not strong and I am not familiar with Mozilla plugin programming so I may have missed something. When I get a free moment I will write a test applet to see how the sun plugin reacts to having the height and width in a stylesheet verses not being set at all
