Specifying this information in the HTML file allows the browser to use this
information in laying out your document before the java applet is loaded.
When the resize () method is invoked, the document is reformatted to
account for the change in the applet size, if the new applet size is
different.
If you are writing an applet for someone else's HTML document, it is might
be a good idea to both tell the HTML author to use the WIDTH and HEIGHT
attributes -and- call resize () yourself in your init () method, just in
case the HTML author leaves it out.
