Sharon:

The scrollbars will show up at different times depending on the VM (and
the revision of the VM).  If you try it in IE you'll find that
scrollbars don't appear until they are needed.  In Netscape, they'll
show up needed or not and in AppletViewer it's a toss up (though a newer
version of AppletViewer may do the trick).  Between the three you have
three differnt VMs (with the MS being the most different of the bunch).

I don't use AppletViewer (which, BTW is just the one that comes with the
JDK and not specific to JBuilder) for much serious testing.  Nobody uses
it in a production environment -- what matters is how it plays in the
"real" browsers.
