Actually, you can make a revlet resize based on the width and height of the web browser - I can't remember where I picked up this trick, but here it goes:
- create a new stack "ResizableRevlet" and draw an oval graphic on it
- set the stack script to:
##
on preOpenStack
  -- resizeStack isn't sent to the revlet at startup
  -- so we have to trigger it ourselves in preOpenStack
  dispatch "resizeStack" with (the width of me), (the height of me)
  pass preOpenStack
end preOpenStack
on resizeStack pNewWidth, pNewHeight
  set the rectangle of graphic "Oval" to \
      10, 10, (pNewWidth - 10), (pNewHeight - 10)
  pass resizeStack
end resizeStack
##
- play around with it first to make sure the resize works
- perhaps add some color to the oval graphic
- now build it as a standalone for the Web
- your web browser will open, but no resizing happens
- modify the file 'test.html' in the build directory
-> change the block:
##
	<embed type="application/x-revolution"
		src="ResizableRevlet.revlet"
		width=400 height=400
		stack="ResizableRevlet"
		requestedName=""
		instanceID=""
	></embed>
##
-> to:
##
	<embed type="application/x-revolution"
		src="ResizableRevlet.revlet"
		width="80%" height="80%"
		stack="ResizableRevlet"
		requestedName=""
		instanceID=""
	></embed>
##
- now open the test.html file again in your web browser
-> the revlet area should occupy 80% of the browser window and resize as you resize the browser window
-> it may flicker and/or temporarily show a gray or white area though, so use this technioque sparingly

However, if you want to resize this based on other parameters, I wish you the best of luck with JavaScript and HTML DOM fiddling ;-)
