(using awt jdk1.1.8 IE5.5, Netscape 4.5)

HI! I have noticed that when showing a frame from an applet, Nescape assumes the passed height includes the status bar, while IE doesn't, which causes different heights on the frame area. How can I be sure that the height I am passing to setSize(w,h) is what I am
expecting? Thanks (using awt jdk1.1.8)
