I got the same thing on some other applet. I don't have a patch to fix
it yet, but I did file it as bug:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76

Getting the proper width/height from the actual browser window might be
a little tricky. But as a first workaround just accepting the percentage
form and just using a specific real number (guess) would be good to at
least get these applets to show and run.

Cheers,

Mark
