Applets automatically resizing when page size changes

I know almost nothing about applets so please excuse the possible lameness of this question.

Can someone tell me if it's possible for an applet to adjust its size (i.e. the amount of the web page it takes up) when the size of the web page itself changes? What I mean is that when you increase the size of the browser window then the web page (HTML) usually automatically adjusts its own size to accommodate the new browser window size and the contents of the page are laid out accordingly. Is it possible to have the applet do something similar? My only experience with applets was when they used to be annoying little grey boxes but I am hoping that the platform has improved and I can port my Swing applications to the web (and yes I know about JNLP which is not what I am looking for).

And loving it,
