Does IE6 support standards mode properly? I just used DockLayoutPanel for the first time today; I noticed this warning:
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.0/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/DockLayoutPanel.html "This widget will only work in standards mode, which requires that the HTML page in which it is run have an explicit <!DOCTYPE> declaration."
