Agreed that is a pain, but there isn't really anything anyone can do about it, IE box model just works differently. What i do to get round it when I want padding/margin around a component is to use a SimplePanel (DIV) to wrap the component and apply the padding/margin style to that instead of the component itself. The DIV will grow to fill the available space in whatever box it's put in but FF will shrink it to allow for the padding/margin, whereas IE will size it flush to its container box and put the padding/ margin on the inside. Either way, if the component is sized to 100%, 100% of the DIV the result is the same in both browsers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
