I've run into the "unset width/height" issue myself. IMO, unsetting width/height is platform-specific and shouldn't be in the API surfaces of the components. For me, I just had to pick the right place in the platform implementation to set the values. Right now there are some places where we unset by setting width/height to "". I think those will have to change to "initial" but it is the same principle. So think about the "meaning" behind the need to unset width/height and whether there is a place in the implementation that is the right time to do that.
Emulation components have setStyle for backward compatibility with Flex. Jewel can as well. I think Basic doesn't need it. We have enough ways for what are currently rare cases for Basic apps.

So if a runtime can then handle it, I think is up to that runtime to manage through COMPILE::XX right? I haven't followed this part of the thread.

So this seems width/height implementation unfinished right? unset (for me using NaN) should put for HTML platform width = style.width = "initial" that is the way to say the browsers to "unset" that value and remove the actual one (if any) I found this problem working in some Jewel components like the ones that popup something like ComboBox or DateField. If you search in Jewel for "initial" you can see a commented line in "ComboBoxView" to see in some way a real use case. Just notice I finaly didn't need since I change my strategy about what I want that popup to behave, but that's just circunstancial. > IMO, we have the width/height properties that just about everybody will > need in UIBase and everything else has to be added as a bead for PAYG > reasons.

Don't make sense to me to join both in the same code since people could end using one and couldn't need the other. > If you want to add a setStyle() API or have properties like minWidth added > to Jewel that's totally fine.
