OK, this is good news. The basic story is that if you want your applet to resize automatically, just use the latest Jmol.js and instead of "300" or "400" for a size, use "0.6" or "0.95". This tells Jmol to use percent instead of pixels for the size in the <object> tag. That does the trick.
If you have special need for other sorts of resizing -- a "how about a bigger applet?" button for example -- then tie that button to jmolResize(w,h) where w and h are the width and height you want.
