Thanks for the suggestion. I had considered using an expression under IE, however, according to this MSDN post, expressions are no longer supported by IE8 in standards mode: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/10/16/ending-expressions.aspx
But to further your idea, the CSSResource in GWT2 allows conditional CSS which would make it more straightforward to target individual browsers instead of relying on a * html rule to be ignored: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/CssResource#Conditional_CSS On Oct 24, 9:00 am, Mohamed Mansour <m0.interact...@gmail.com> wrote: > You would have to use some CSS tricks to make that work. > > * html div.someclass { width: expression( document.body.clientWidth > > 49 ?
