OK, the solution is basically that you have to add a label (even a
completely empty Label!) or else the horizontal panel is not
displayed, regardless if you set a height or not.
ie.
HorizontalPanel separaterPanel = new HorizontalPanel();
separaterPanel.setWidth("90%");
separaterPanel.add(new Label(""));
DOM.setStyleAttribute(separaterPanel.getElement(),
"borderBottom", "1px solid #DCDCDC");
DOM.setStyleAttribute(separaterPanel.getElement(),
"margin", "7px");
Why does adding the label make the horizontal panel be displayed? Or,
why won't the HP be displayed without something inside?
Thanks,
Mark
